Seventies W-30 Fuel Pumps

Can anyone verify this information for me?

The '71 engine assembly manual shows this:

It says the W-30 takes a large surge dome fuel pump with no by pass.

These are pics of a restored '72 W-30 engine from Inlinetube's web site:

Is the fuel pump in the pictures also correct for a '71 W-30?

Thank you

Correct in that there is no bypass. The 71-72 W-30 cars used an external metal canister fuel filter that has the bypass port in it.

Thank you Joe.

I bought one of those years ago at a swap meet. The guy said it was for a Corvette. I just went down to have a look at it and it is identical to yours.

SU is selling them as reproductions.

I am really looking to find out if the large surge dome pump in the pictures is correct for a '71 W-30.

Line only. as the surge line is on the inline metal fuel filter.

ONLY the 71 cars used the external canister fuel filter.
The 72 cars did not use this filter.
