I got a new fuel pump for my 55.1 Model 3100 and the position of the inlet and outlet for the fuel lines on the new pump don't seem to be right. The existing pump routes the lines parallel to the engine block, but the new one wants to angle the inlet line away from the block and angle the outlet line towards the block. It seems unlikley that it would accept my existing fuel lines. I have confirmed that the new pump is listed for a 1955 Series 1, and the various catalog listings don't mention a variation in fuel line positions.

Are my existing pump and fuel lines incorrect replacements? Do I need to replace the pump to carb line and maybe the tank to pump line too?

Or should I just find a pump with the same fuel line position as my existing lines? How do I make sure I get the right one? Go to NAPA and make them show me diffent pumps?

Thanks!
