(one fitting coming off at a right angle) Any of the pumps will work the same. Even off a Volvo or a Saab. My '71 is actually working fine with a pump from an '85 Ford Ranger pickup, but I had to modify the gas lines and the mount. If it is leaking out of the joints between the pump and the motor, those are just standard o'rings and can be replaced.
