Power? I think you have a ceramic resistor there on the inner fender by the air cleaner? I forget what year they stopped that. Anyway, if you have one, power should go out the rear to the pump.

Cool! You didn't really need to fix it though. It was added early on because people complained about the noise from the pump. Some people just can it. glad you got'r goen.

Ha! Just saw your other thread. 'Flintstone by a nose!"
