After 21 years of service, the fuel pump died in my '86 900T. Bosch has stopped making the model fuel pump for the '84-'86 C900. My local Saab dealer and most of the aftermarket parts shops cannot get the proper unit that has a pair of .3125"/8 mm spade connectors that the pre-87 C900s use. The only one you can get is the '87-'90 one with the round socket connectors. Anyone ever swap one out? I was told by Swedish Dynamics that they usually solder a pig tale on and splice it in to the harness. I am loath to do this as I do not want a possible spark point so near the fuel tank. I checked with several junkyards to no avail, as the wire harness adapter usually gets pulled out when they remove the gas tank when they process the vehicles. Any suggestions? JB
