John,

I'm not familliar with that pump but the iron pump on my engine also has an extra hole on the suction side that was plugged. I assume there is another application that uses two suction ports for these pumps.

I corrected this on my car not too long ago and it made a world of difference. Before the only way to keep the heater shut off was to use the external shut off valves.
