Are all fuel pumps the same?

I was told the later ones were different to accommodate the alternator!

Yes they are different, also the pushrod length is different. I can't remember which is longer.

The generator is longer by 8mm i think

There is also differences as to what is the in and out holes. Some have arrows. Some are in on the bottom. Some on the top.

Real pain if ya have to find out by experience

yep, old genny style has longer pushrod & recessed actuating lever. alternator model has shorter rod & protruuding lever.

as to what way in & out. huff & puff on the pipes or just hookem up & swap if needed.
