Thank you. I'll include this.

Thank you, Steve83. This is exactly the kind of reference material I'm looking for. I've added the info to my list. Very helpful.

Gentleman, I'm trying to complete a project that identifies all GL seats from the naked years ('75-'84). It's purpose is to assist owners with the, "Will this seat fit my GL" type question. The thread will show every model seat made, it's pan and it's ability to fit other year GL's of the above...

The best price I could find for your pump is at Western Honda at $118. Also, go here and buy this KP gasket set. With these two items, you'll have the basics for this job. While you're at it, I suggest you consider changing out your thermostat, hoses and having your radiator cleaned and...
