I bought my kit from Surplus City. Its been in the jeep for 3 years now
with no problem. I highly recommend that you get an Ord-9 part manual if
you don't have one. Those exploded views are worth every penny. I also got
that at Surplus City for something like $50 or $60. I think it took a
couple of evenings in the garage as I remember. The only thing that threw
me was the main pump arm. It is articulated and I didn't understand how the
cam could make this thing work. As it turned out, I wasn't using enough
hand strength to make the pump lever move the diaphragm. Once I understood
that, I slapped it on and its been great ever since. The vacuum side has
been running the wipers ever since as well. I do remember about a 1/2 inch
spacer that was on one engine that wasn't on another. Something to check
on....
Good luck,
Greg
