You know, I hadn't thought about it, but I wonder if this is actually the problem I've been hearing with aftermarket pumps on these older GMs...I haven't experienced it, but been advising on several at a distance where they put in an Airtex replacement and it still wouldn't run, or failed very quickly, then replaced with a GM OE type and the problem was gone. Wonder if the harness was actually the problem, and the Airtex didn't include that? Hmm.
