Thanks for the offer. Hopefully I'll have it fixed one way or another before I leave. I have a spare pump so it's just a matter of putting it in if the current one is bad.

I do have a couple questions on replacing the pump.

- What I've read says to put the #1 cylinder at TDC on compression. Dumb question, but how do you know when it's on compression if you can't see the valves? Timing mark? Also, I presume I can pull the plugs and turn the crank with a socket or wrench?
- I don't need to pull the distributor, right? I just need to take off the cap and mark where the rotor points?
- The FSM and a write-up I found talks about replacing a seal along with the gasket. I looked at the schematics on courtesyparts.com and the only seal I saw is for the pick-up tube. Is that the one? The local dealer had gaskets in stock so I have a couple of those now. Just wondering about this seal.

Thanks again for any pointers.
