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!!

forced me to.
Tracy's idea is certainly a good stright forward solution. I am working
right now on a mod to the electronic pump adapter, which will allow to put a
mechanical pump on the electronic pump front cover.
