Looks good, does that Fuel Pump come with a different EL harness then stock and is that why you have those 2 "free" wires? If that is the case looks good.

It does look like it sits futher away from the "frame" have you compared it to the stock to see if it is taller or whats different about them.

You should slighty bend the bottom support bracket, so that the pump gets a good seal on the bottom of the metal feed pipe.

You can do that as well. Just make sure you use fuel specific hose...!! I'm sure I didn't need to tell you that. But just in case. Tony

Also be very carefull when putting the pump assemble back in. Don't bend the arm. If you do your fuel level needle will be inaccurate.

The only thing is if you cut the end off you will have to find a way to clamp down the pump to the seembly.

Yeah...that looks like the Walbro. That looks good. Make sure you get some good splicing going and leave some slack in the wires. Also, it's a good idea to get a zip tie and tie it to the bracket. I didn't do it, but the base is a bit more loose than the stock pump, so there's a chance that a good bump on a turn may knock it off the bracket.
