I can't remember exactly but I think it was shorter than stock. I was able to buy one from the same flaps as the pump. If the rod were too long it could explain the wrecked spring and overheating of the old pump? >> If the pump requires a shorter pump rod, then it's an alternator pump for a bug (for use in beetles late 73 on, except FI starting in 1975 for USA models). That pump rod would be 10mm shorter than a type 3 pump rod.
