RE: cutting out

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

It'll be a standard mechanical pump that runs off the intermediate shaft - 
carbed sciroccos were available in the UK until not long before production 
ceased, although the 1.8 version didn't come along until '88, I think. My 
'87 is a 1.6 carb.

'86 GT 1.8
'87 GT 1.6
