to look on the old one to see just where. I believe I can take the whole
driver's side bank off the front of the engine and repair it on the bench,
rather than trying to do it on the car. It looks like one of the Torx head
bolts that holds the pump to the housing is behind the pulley. I don't
remember seeing a hole in the pulley for getting to it, Hmmmmm
I might just take it out, pull the seal and take it in to match to make sure
I get the right part the first time.
How do you press it back on? Does the shaft back up to the housing so you
can just put it in a vice or press?

I'll have to ask what our cats eat, but Axel is 16 or 18 now, so it's the
good stuff. Stay away from anything with Corn in it.

I looked on there first thing, and I might get it from the FLPS if the price
is close, just for the hassle factor (shipping if it isn't the right part).
I was looking up 89 Camaro, but like Robert says, they are probably all the
same thing.
Thanks Guys!
