Again, thanks for all the feed back.

Not worried about pump priming now.  I will disconnect
the silinoid wire and crank the motor until oil
preasure light and new VDO guage register.

I am going to buy one of Parts Place (4) OEM 82
vanagon diesel radiators for $400.  I can get other
for $220, but if my fan and mounting brakets wont fit,
I just don't have the time to mess with it.  This van
has been off the road since Christmas, I need it back
on the road.  Want to a least get to one show this
fall.

thanks again, all of you volks
