i bought a walbro fuel pump and and need the part where the lines connected to and a bought a fuel pump holder from the local ford (ontario canada) and it was a much stubbier fuel pump. i had to use the new upper and old lower. at some pointi believte hey changed the setup. if its the same type of pump i have the lower part that holds the new style pump, thats worth nothing to me....

just unscrew the four screw on the sending unit, remove the lower part of the bracket, put the pump in and start the screw and tighten it down
