Hi Brian and Bob;
Well - I incorrectly assumed it was the relay not sending 12v to the pump,
but actually it was a bad ground wire. A continuity tester showed the
ground carrying juice but not apparently enough to allow the pump to run.
That is what took a while to figure out. The spade lug connection, though
clean, was not tight enough and therefore would not allow enough current to
pass. So of course I thought it was the relay........
Thanks for helping me out - I always appreciate help from you guys... Tom
Woods

It sounds like the tachymetric relay. 83 and 84 are the same. They
didn't go to the Bosch until 86. I have a new one. Or if you
prefer, I have the conversion kit to adapt it to the Bosch relay
which is more reliable.
