Vacuum Pump

The vacuum pump that operates the dash air vents etc has failed. In my search for another I found a lookalike on Amazon.

Dorman 904-214 Mechanical Vacuum Pump for Ford Truck : Amazon.com : Automotive

Ordered it and found that the connectors were not compatible. The old pump uses Stak-ons and the new one has a connector. I searched around and couldn't find a connector so I called Ford, they didn't really know what I wanted so I went back on and ordered another pump with a wiring harness with it.

Notice the almost doubling of price for the pump and connector, When I got the pump/connector I found a number on the connector box, S805, distributed by standard and found it here.

If I'd known what to order I could have saved a chunk of money.
Also there is a link to the Standard catalog that has all this stuff listed.

  • I bought a Ford pump from eBay to replace the one that failed on mine. The old Ghast pump was located in a hard to reach spot in the frame near the back engine. I mounted the new pump right on the firewall and it works great. Sure it needed some modifications to make it work, but the price was right.

    Tip: to keep the vibration noise down, I mounted the pump by hanging it from the firewall on some short bungee cords.
