Mitch, I am interested in the injection pump. My mechanic would like it to be as close to my existing pump as possible. How do I determine what pump I have on my car and what pump you have. I cannot see number on the pump I have. Would the VIN or Number Plate located under the hood near the radiator help identify the pump. I have a pump from an 85 wagon and it does look different than the 84 pump. Thanks, Mike
