It has a 55-57 235 in it right now and the current pump is a glass bowl. I like the glass bowl and would like to get another but the only one I see lists an application of 47-51. My current one went out on me today. I want to make sure it mounts to my engine correctly, works correctly and the fuel lines are routed the same.

Chevs of the 40's has rebuilt glass bowl fuel pumps for your '53. < CLICK > Chevs of the 40sI "made" a glass bowl pump for my '54 by removing the top half of a '54 all metal fuel pump and replacing it with the top half of a reproduction pre-1952 glass bowl fuel pump. The two mated up perfectly. And the in/out ports were correctly positioned at 20-deg. Looks and works great.

Mine is actually the older style with the straight fittings, so I'll just order another one of them. Thanks for the help!
