Jim,
GM catalog shows the following (sorry, I only go up to 71 on this):
6470424 - (type 40727) fits
69 All (396)
70 Chevelle w/Sp. H/Per. (396,454)
6470307 - (type 40768) fits
70 Chevelle w/4BC (396,400) (exc. Sp. H/Per.)
6470570 (no type number given) fits
71 Pass., Chevelle w/4BC (400,454) (exc. Sp. H/Per.)
One of those two should work. BTW, the type is usually the
AC/Delco
aftermarket part number. If yours is originally an AC/Delco new or
rebuilt
unit, many times they have the type roll stamped into the edge of
the
mounting flange. I haven't used or changed a mech fuel pump in a
while, but
I'm pretty sure the sbc and bbc pumps mount the same and are
interchangeable...more or less. It depends on the position, size,
and
number of lines involved. I would also imagine that the bbc pumps
may have
a higher flow rate, but can't prove it.

Does anyone know if fuel pumps have part numbers stamped on them
and if I
could find/read one while the pump is still on the car? The
reason I
need to know is this: I'm not sure what year/style pump I
currently have,
so before I pull my current fuel pump off to replace it I want to
have
the correct replacement on hand.
The reason for the mystery is this: I have a 69 SS396 with a '72
402
engine a 69 Q-jet in it. Also, instead of a 3-piece pump to
carburetor
line, I have a single piece pump-to-carburetor fuel line. After
looking
at the pump photos in an older Year One catalog, my pump visually
appears
to have a shape like the 1971-1972 big block fuel pump that they
sell (as
opposed to the shape of the 1969 big block fuel pump that they
sell).
So, I'm leaning towards ordering a 1971-1972 pump, but before I do
so I'm
wondering if I could expect to find a decodable ID number that
would be
visible to me if I were to scrape off what looks like decades
worth of
grease and grime on the pump while it is on the car.
As always, thanks in advance for all the help I get on
this list!
