Ward,
I have had a few people ask me that so i checkced the numbers and the ones i
could find are those of the Mk3.
I didn't take the pump off the engine. It was in one of many boxes that came
with the car.
Many of the parts i am finding are from a 1500 that i think one of the PO's
was working on and just wanted to get rid of the old extra parts. But the
engine block number is an FE1----E or something. i have all those numbers back
home so I can't tell you what they are right now, but maybe over the weekend i
will post them on my website.
Thanks,
Dave
