Can someone educate me in how I could use the Corvette, or Cadillac, ABS
pump.  I've attached a picture (courtesy of ebay) of an ABS pump and
control unit off a 1986 Corvette.  It looks like it would be pretty
heavy.  Hopefully, you would be able to shed a bunch of stuff and just use
the pump. -- Mark

Apples and oranges here Mark. Anti-lock Braking Systems work off hyd pressure. 
You are looking at probably a 1000 psi or more hyd pressure pump. Might be 
good for getting your landing gear up and down but I doubt it. 
Probably low volume low HP.
