Location: Branson, MO		Two different fuel pumps are advertised that will fit a '59 DeSoto. The arm lengths are significantly different. How can both of them be the right one? From my experience many years past, I am familiar with the one that has the longer arm and also a push rod was needed that is about 3 inches long if memory serves me right.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Fred

Location: northern germany		not the one with the longer arm. the upper seems right but i believe its a cheap non rebuildable carter. check ebay and search for mopar big block/hemi (2.gen) fuel pumps they all fit from 1958 till end of production.

Thanks! I have a new rebuilt one that came with the car when I bought and it has the shorter arm. It also has the row of bolts around the housing where it can be taken apart for repair. This I think is good and should be the right one. I probably will never need it because I have it as a spare but low and behold, if I sold it, that would be the first thing I'd have to replace - Murphy's Law you know.

Location: The Netherlands		The short arm pumps are for big blocks and the long arm pumps are for small blocks.

Make sure on the big blocks that the fuel pump push rod is not worn out
