Thanks for the heads-up on the VW pumps. I went to PnP today (we had really nice weather with snow coming tomorrow so I figured I better do it if I'm going to do it) and found a VW pump. Mine has an all aluminum body and should polish up really well.

I also took the bracket which is a royal pain to get out. It also holds the fuel pump (I guess) on the VW and I had to remove the whole fuel pump deal to get to the attaching bolts. I'll cut the bracket down to just hold the vacuum pump but that will require a lot of spot weld drilling. Pics to follow.

A couple of questions:
1) Is there a vacuum switch on a VW to turn it off and on? Mine won't need to run very often as it only needs enough slurp to shut the engine off but I'd like it to not run if not needed.

2) Which wire is ground? I got the pigtail and a little wire from the harness so I can make a plug-in connection but I don't know which wire is which.

Thanks

Dan
