Hi;
    What do you want for a vane vacuum pump? In the past I have found them
on some Dashers but I don't have anything newer than 1982. I'm rebuilding a
1.5 diesel for my 1981 Rabbit pickup that I intend to turbo and intercool. I
don't have a spare vane pump at the present time and would very much like to
use one. Cost plus shipping to Toledo, WA please. Check, postal money order,
or PayPal for payment.
