i'm with you on that. when it fell apart i didn't think i needed to replace it. when it didn't start i remembered it was out but still didn't think of it as causal. i only replaced it as a means to rule it out but then it started!!

An '87 doesn't even need electricity for the engine to run. It uses a computer to manage the idle speed, but other than that it is a purely mechanical injection pump just like the older cars. I owned one of these for many years.
