The inlet/outlet I believe is offset or stock is offset and the walbro is straight? I can't remember, but regardless you will have to cut the top and (some of) the ribs out of the fuel pump bucket in order for the pump to fit. That's if it hasn't been done already. You will need glue to glue the top of the bucket back together. Don't get rid of the bucket. It keep the pump cool when the fuel level gets below the pump. If the bucket isn't used the pump's life span can be dramatically shortened.

Pump is on & runs but every few minutes gauge will shake to full & back. Realized the purple sending wire fitting was a lil loose on the terminal that’s for the float but ignored it. Anyone know the size of the lil connecter?

btw thank you SSRRR
