interchangeability
Its good to know that they all should fit. I removed the old
pump from my 60 today, but cannot seem to get the new one into place. It seems
as though the push rod needs to lift a bit higher, but its up as high as it
will go & the pump doesn't want to seat. The shape of the pump arm appears
identical to the old one so don't know why I having so much trouble. I just
changed the one on my 69 a couple of months ago. Other then the alternator
being in the way, it went together without any problem.

The fuel pump for the 361-383-400-413-440 is physically
interchangeable.
The mounting pad is the same, the pushrod is the same,
the pump itself can
interchange. The inlet and outlet positions on
the pump itself may be
different, and the " style " of the pump may be
different between an older
pump that is rebuildable and has the bolted
together pump housings versus
the newer crimped housings that arent
rebuildable.
Just a fwiw, obviously a later crimped pump wouldnt be "
correct" for a
concours situation, but if it means the difference between
driving and
towing, its good to know.
