<< Thanks for all the advise.  I checked the solenoid and it has a high
resistance value, much higher than my old pump. I think that it is shorted.
I am going to send the new pump back.
New problem, when I turn the ignition switch on my tack goes to 5000+ rpm
instantly and stays there.

Electrical Clarification: "Short" will mean less resistance usually due to 
electrical path leaving out some of the wire length due to contact between 
coils of wire; "Open" will mean infinite resistance (what you have? probably 
due to no contact thru the points); "Ground" is wire connected to "grounded" 
metal (ie. body, frame, engine) where it is not intended to be connected.
