Rich, What cars used the Sanden that is needed? Wasn't there various head/port arrangements used?

Many 80's and newer cars used the Sanden (or other brand). If it is a genuine Sanden brand, many different heads are available. Most applications use O ring style ports exiting vertical, but some of the older units use flare fittings exiting vertical as well. The other brands that I have seen are: Sankyo & York. They all share the same mounting and pulley configuration.
