Just called a Land Rover dismantler and got one for $65 shipped. SAI is one that does "not" have the black electronic piece on top of the pump.

I just ordered the Non SAI Pump with a 60 day Warranty. Sweet.

Well, to finish up this thread. The initial seller for $65 was a flake. Ended up buying one from a So Cal vendor for $130 shipped. Putting the pump back was kind of a bear, having to put pressure downwards and at the same time trying to get the ring to catch on the threads.

Anyways, I finally got it on and hooked up the fuel line and electrical plugs. Took a bit of cranking and some starting fluid to get the fuel up to the intake but she fired up and ran kind of poor initially. Drove it around for a few miles and she smoothened right up.

Car is mine as my mom sold to me for $1000. She put a new windshield in last week. It only has 90K on the clock. I needed something to drive to work as my 97 Expedition has 205K on it.

$1000 and 91K miles it's a snip, let me know if you want to sell it on.

Even if you dumped another $2000 into the truck you'd still be on the upside. Good luck with your truck

Did you get the old gas out or just go with "dilution is the solution to pollution"?
