Sorry Stretch--I dont have the WSM!

This pump came with a 1984 engine that I rebuilt and put into a 280TE wagon,--so no, its not the one oin the sig--That has the usual pieerburg diaphragm one with the roller and lever.

The history of that now re-built engine is rather odd.

It appears it came from a French Wagon that was imported to UK and scrapped.
This engine had been stored badly and rust had eaten a cylinder-liner out so it needed full attention--all now done and running well.

--The vac pump came separately--the guy I had the engine from--well known to UK W123 owners, Mark-Cosovich had removed it for someone before I bought the engine --who apparently then didn't need the pump--Or summit!

So--It May--Or may Not have come from this 'French' wagon engine originally, I have no idea, it just seemed an unusual pump, that may--or may not have a potential to 'destroy' an engine, like the normal type.

It has two pipe fittings, one an inlet the other an outlet--which is plumbed into the airfilter cover.
