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
  'Mk3
