It wont be a straight swap unless your classic is a late 99/2000,in which case it just plugs in.In any case ,just undo the 2 screws holding the wires onto your old pump,then snip off connectors,join red to red & black to black,and solder as said above.Fit the pump in the carriage ,you may have to use a couple of cable ties to keep it secure ,then plugthe connector into the pump ,dont worry about the extra length of the wire simply wrap them and with eletrical tape and a cable tie,secure above the pump. Refit pump back into tank ,making sure you dont catch the sender unit ,secure with your 8 x 8mm nuts then start up - dead easy , Or follow this link :
