Year One's fuel pump doesn't fit
I ordered a fuel pump for my 72 442 with a 350 4bbl and AC from Year One. Tried to install it last weekend. Once installed, it wouldn't allow the AC bracket to go back on.
Here's the link for the one I ordered. Its the first one listed of the four, part number NG320.
Am I losing my mind, or does it in fact say that if fits all 72 350s???????????
Also, the Year One picture shows the pump upside down, I believe.

I did end up going to Auto Zone and bought one of the unknown brands for like $30 and it fit fine. I didn't take any pics and I'm back in Vegas and I don't have access to the car for a couple more weeks.
I'll return the Year One pump and get my money back.
What I was really asking was whether you'all read the YearOne pump description the same way I did, specifically that it will fit all 72 350s including those with AC?

Yes, I did have to take the AC bracket off to get to the fuel pump. I was putting in a new ac compressor, and since I had recently been having some cold starting issues, I figured I might as well change the pump and filter while the ac compressor was off. Changed the valve seals too. That wasn't very fun at all.

The Autozone pump had a shorter cylindrical thing. Probably about an 1/8" shorter. Not much shorter, but enough for the bracket to easlily go back on with clearance.
