Re: [tech] Transfer Pump

Guys

There is a transfer pump in my 84.  It has two fuel line hoses running from
that cap.  More importantly, it has a three prong connection (one for the
transfer pump, one for the ground and the other for the fuel gauge).  I
managed to get that cap off and install a new transfer pump.  I tested the
old one by hooking it up to a battery and it didn't work.  The new one does
work but the car doesn't start.
