1990 3297 - Crusader 270 Fuel Pumps
The parts store clerks all said if I just ordered a "close enough" pump I could clock the housing how I needed it, but it looks to me like that's not right because of the way the bolts hold it together. It looks like it only goes one way. The guys at BPI said it's absolutely not supposed to be "clocked" and doing so would void the warranty.
Both engines have the same fuel filter, steel lines, and pump setup so whatever the mystery pump is, it's on both engines and appears to be stock.
Can anybody ID this pump so that I can order a replacement? My search-fu is exhausted, I've driven all over several counties, and I really don't know what else to do besides bite the bullet and convert to an electric pump. Pictures attached include my existing pump right-side flange, left-side flange, inlet/outlet orientation and the CRU-97842 inlet/outlet orientation.

This site shows the CRU-97842 in stock. Perhaps you can contact them to see what theirs look like.

I can get some tubing and bend some new lines, but in my experience that's more of an art than a science. Getting the right pump would be ideal. This could be a plan B.
waybomb wrote:Source of the post Can you rebuild it using parts from the new into the old?
I've considered this as well. This could also be a plan B.
I just like to reduce risk as much as possible when it comes to a fuel system. Bending lines and doing heart surgery on a pump are both possible options. if I can get a proper replacement for the OEM pump, that feels like a little less risk. Thanks for the suggestions. If I can't source the right pump, one of these will probably be the answer. Not sure which one.

Just a guess on my part, good luck.
