I was surprised when it came in lol.
I ended up returning it because it stuck up too high and I didn't want to cut my hood. So I got the 78/75 for now. Eventually I'll upgrade and put that on my truck.

You may not need one. My pump is a little different than yours. I needed a spacer because of the truck accessories.

Here's the pump I have.
