Bad move. It was a different design, cheaply made, and constantly leaked oil out of the weep hole, although it did work.

I ended up putting an electric fuel pump on the car (Carter 5070--about $80, iirc). It works fine but I've had to get used to the noise which is quite noticeable.
I just got a fuel pump from Mercedes Benz Classic. I have a '67 230S. A beautiful piece that bolted right on.
