Bruce,
I did the conversion ... it ran for a couple hundred miles then quit.
Would pump (air) like crazy on the bench but not in the car.
Bought new and I've put 5,000 miles or so on it w/o any problems.
Supposedly, the early pumps had problems, figure the same for
the conversion kits.
If you like to fiddle with electronics it's not a tough job.
