I just finished a rebuild job on my 1983 2000cc FI Aircooled and just had
a heck of a time finding an oil pump under $370.00, Pictures of my pump
are at:

I purchased and returned three pumps before I went to a Porsche specialty
shop and purchased new gears at about $42.00 the set.

If you find that it is your pump and you've got this pump please feel
free to use my pictures to secure the right pump the first time you
order.
