1983 928 question

stepson, im located west of Fort Worth. Where in the VIN would tell me? I will be sure not to leave the pump connected longer than that, because i like my cars un-burned... Danglerb, i have reversed the leads to try to kick it loose, but that failed. It has been running recently, within the last year but one of the fuel injector lines split.(i poured gas in it to get it to start before i bought it and it runs great, no unusual noises and is hitting on all 8.) The line was replaced so that i could run it before i went into it. Guess the pump just died of age? Because the gas in it is pure and doesnt have water or crud in it that i can see. It has been sitting because it supposedly has a dead transmission, and it came with another. Was planning to pull the engine and put it in my 82 which is straighter than the 83, but which is easier? Changing transmission or swapping engine and moving all the interrior pieces from the 83 into the 82? The guy i got the 82 started to part it out but i got it before it was too far gone. Now that i think about it, the 83 is complete and (may be) an s. The engine in the 82 got antifreeze set in it and ate away enough of the pressure space to blow a head gasket. It isnt corroded into the cylinder, so im going to try and repair it with JB weld. Have done this on many car engine/tractor blocks and none of them have let me down yet. Thanks!!

also, sorry for so long of a message
