The curent Jegs and Summit catalogues list one or two that may have threaded
inlet/outlets, but you'll have to call their tech line to verify that its
really for a Cleveland. The 351-C fuel pump fits no other engine due to the flange
shape, and that engine was limited production. So shops sell thousands of
351-W pumps for each Cleveland unit. Some shop counter guys have literally never
seen a Cleveland engine. The 800- call will save you having to return a wrong
pump.
The most desirable pump will also have a screwed-on base, allowing the
knowlegable owner to replace the rubber diaphragm & check-valves inside with a
screwdriver. Less desireable are crimped-together pumps (like the OEM) that cannot
be repaired. Good luck- J Deryke
