Default Which pick up tube o-ring for mellings pump,blue or black?

Just like the title says. Im rebuilding my engine. Im re using my melling high volume pump and i took out a black o-ring. My problem is that when i bought the o-ring at the dealer its blue. Is there any real differance. They look about the same. The black one has 10k on it so its aliitle harder.

Thanks
Alex

If you used the Melling o-ring it would definitely be black, but a GM replacement that is identical should be blue. Hold them up together and if it looks right, it is right.

Yes it looks. The same and I've tried putting both in and they feel pretty much the same.
I wonder where mellings gets the black ones and why?
