biggrizzly Correct Fuel Pump or Not?

A friend of mine owns a 62 roadster and needs a new fuel pump. His question is, can he just go to Napa and buy one or where can he get one? His car is genuine and close to 90% correct and wants to know if buying a pump from Napa would not be correct? How about Ecklers or Corvette Central?

He also has a heater hose that needs replacing but it appears that it goes directly from the radiator through the firewall into the heater core. Does this need replacing as a whole or can it be patched?

The 55-62 Corvette V8s have an unusual clocking on the fuel pump due to the frame and the motor mount (between the water pump and the block). My experience is that the parts houses will show a listing for an early vette, but the fuel pump clocking will be wrong.

The repro pumps will fit the car. I bet a parts house pump has the traditional SBC fuel line clocking, which will not let his stock line be used. I had two AC Delco pumps fail on the 62, and one AC Delco pump fail on my truck. None of the AC Delco Repro pumps lasted a year!!!

So, I run a carter pump and changed the outlet clocking to more closely match the stock pumps position. I had to fab a fuel line.
