Thanks a lot guys for the info. I went to Then and Now. They get $325 for a new pump, really not a bad price. But I'm going to keep looking for an old one.
The pump in your photo of the 900 engine does not look like the one I found for sale so I will pass on that one. I think I'll just leave it with the electric pump until I can find one that will look semi-original. Not sure where to look but eventually I might come up with one. Thanks for the cross reference too. That will be helpfull.
Going down to the garage today to pull the manifolds off, then the head. I have a limpy #8 cylinder and I think its a leaky exhaust valve. Wish I didn't have to remove the manifolds but I don't know how you would ever access the valve retainer, spring, etc. on that back cylinder otherwise.
