Couple of electrical questions

[candahill@worldnet.att.net]

Happy Holidays to all of you out there celebrating Easter and Passover. I have a couple of off-the-wall questions: First, I have a new spare fuel pump I picked up years ago when a parts house was going out of business. Question is how do I tell if it is positive or negative ground? The numbers on it are AUA25 914. Second, I need to replace the glass to frame seals on my TC windshield. While I have the whole thing apart, I want to replace the wiper motor wire. I've contacted British Wiring and they sent me a sample of their wire. It is 18ga plastic covered wire in a black braid sheath over the 2 wires. First, 18ga seems a little small for the windshield wiper motor. Am I right? Second, I have been lead to believe that the wiper motor wire had a gray plastic cover, not a black cloth braid. Anyone know for sure? If so, who is a good source?

Charles Does the fuel pump have a capacitor on it, if it does not, it make no difference, it will work fine both ways, on the motor wiper, can not say for sure on a TC, but on my TD it was "black braid sheath" when I got the car. On my TA that I am working on, I found only one wire. 18 ga is probably right, the problems is you only have so much room and the gauge and distance it runs are related, so you can get away with a smaller wire, for a short distance, if you do not have much room I know that moss sells or did sell the "gray plastic cover" wire Cheers Dean -----Original Message---- I have a couple of off-the-wall questions: First, I have a new spare fuel pump I picked up years ago when a parts house was going out of business.

Charles: The AUA 25 is a std fuel pump for TC/TD/ and early TF. It may be used either Positive, or Negative ground. The wiper wire is covered with grey plastic covering. The ones supplied by Moss and Abingdon are really not the correct gauge of inner wire. Too small. No one that I know supplies the correct gauge. I would certainly like to find some.

TC 7993 has the gray wire thing, (FWIW). Don TC 7993
