I had some questions regarding the differences in these two IP's
1981 Rabbit
This one is of my early 1.6, at least that is what I think it is
It was mentioned in my intro post back in April, that someone thought it was an early 1.6

with these numbers

This pump is on 1.5 I hope to put in place of the ailing 1.6

with these numbers

These pumps look so similar, are they interchangeable..
As it must be obvious to everyone else, these two pumps are different than the pump on a worn out 1.6 I bought to tear down and learn on
You can just make out the can under the ip in the first photo, it leaks a bit but it runs
The other one hasn't seen a drop of diesel in 17 years
I would like to send the 1.5 pump to Giles, but I wondered if I could get buy with a reseal on the (top photo) pump
I have little experience with this stuff, so any help is much appreciated
