Subject: METERING PUMP ADAPTER

You guys thinking of using the late model (electronic) injection pumps
should be aware of all the issues.

1.  They are expensive.  I hear they go for $400 - $500 USED!
2.  What are you going to control them with?  If you don't use the stock
Mazda ECU,  I don't think anybody makes an engine controller (including
me)
that will control the pump.

My recommendation:

Sell the electronic pump if you have it and get the mechanical version
(much
easier & cheaper to find).  Install an earlier front cover on the engine
and
use Richard's 86-88 pump adapter.

I like this idea better Tracy.  I'm changing out the front cover anyway for
other reasons.  Thanks again!!
