Thanks to Greg, Norm, Alan, Earl, John... I popped one of those plastic
posi-flo pumps in my positive-ground 3000, and it works like a champ. Red
wire (postive) to ground, and the black wire (negative) to power. I did
check the pump with an ohm meter to make sure that the electrical wires
weren't internally connected to anything, and they weren't.
thanks again,
Tom
