Jason,
The pump is sold under many names (of course being feeble-minded I can't think
of any). It is a small cube about 2" by 1.5" by 1.5". There are generally two
types. One is for low pressure applications like ours, less than 5 PSI. The
other is for higher pressure applications, avoid it. The main reason I went
this way is that since the one is in there now a replacement is only a few
minutes. The clicking of which I and others spoke would be objectionable if
the pump were mounted directly to a resonating piece of metal but I mounted
mine on a rubber strip like those which support exhausts and the only time I
can really hear it is at a dead stop.

What type of pump is this? In the unlikely event that my pump goes bad on
the road, a smaller version would be nice to have in the trunk along with my
other "in case of emergency" parts.
