Works well on my 331 stroker
Good replacement for the pump on my 1970 Mustang. It was thinner than the one I was replacing (same height, just not as bulky/thick) so I checked the flow rate on it and it moves plenty of gas. Installed and I'm not noticing any difference on the performance of my 331 stroker.

Great pump
At first I thought it would have to be returned since it's overall design was quite different from the one it was replacing. However, I thought I would try it; and to my surprise it was exactly what was needed to get my vehicle back on the road.

Delivers the Correct Pressure
Worked as expected producing the needed 5 lbs pressure.

need a fuel outlet fitting
yes it fit my Ford 302 just fine. The fuel outlet threaded hose connection is not provided and its not easy to find one. Its a 1/2-20 threaded fitting with a fuel hose line (barb). So be prepared to go get one.

Good pump, but not really serviceable.
I noticed that even the new brand name replacement pumps like this are becoming un serviceable. It works as it should, but if it breaks, you need to buy a new one as the originals have screw on inlet and outlet ports where this one is crimped on by a machine and to work on it you would need to bend the metal on the base back and that weakens the metal so you can only do it like once before you have a non sealing pump. I would call these cheap Chinese made replacements when you just need a new pump and don't have time or patience to repair the original (if there was an original on it).

Worst pump ever for our 61 Thunderbird
It ran one day and then quit. We do not drive this car often so we didnt realize until it was too late to return. We bought 3 different ones!

Disappointed non functional!
Fuel pump was too weak to pump gas to the carb. Bought one locally for a few more dollars but at least it worked

High Pressure pump, not low pressure
Description stated low pressure, in fact it is 12 psi, more like high pressure. I returned it
