Viton accelerator pumps are now available from WDDGM for service when a customer is using a high aromatic fuel, gasohol or has dry-out conditions stemming from long periods of non-operation.
Two (2) types of viton accelerator pumps are released and must be used in the correct float bowl assembly.
Float bowl assemblies that have the letters "MW" (machined well) embossed next to the throttle position sensor electrical connector use the red lip (with garter spring) viton accelerator pump only. See Figure 1.
Some 1982-83 "MW" float bowl assemblies used during production were assembled with the red viton pump and some were not. If the float bowl assembly does not contain the red viton pump a blue dot will be on the rear of the throttle body near the bolt hole. See Figure 1.
If the letters "MW" are not on the float bowl assembly a blue, thin lip accelerator pump can be used per the part list included with this bulletin. This float bowl assembly has the non-machined pump well and uses the blue, thin lip accelerator pump only.
Viton service replacement pumps are identified as H.D. (Heavy Duty) in the parts book and are shown in Figure 2.
Applications are as follows:
Red Lip (With Garter Spring) Machined Well Only (MW) Blue, Thin Lip Non-Machined Well Only
Dual and Quadrajet pump part numbers:

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
