As far as I know there is no difference in the pumps, as long as it has the same pump arm. I had a choice of the small block, or V6 pump from the same company. The V6 pump was for the exact year as my engine, the small block was not. I was being a little pussy, and didn't take a chance with the small block pump. Bottom line I'm sure the SB pump would have been better for my car. (never noticed the third line on the pump)
But back to where I'm at now. Drilling the vent hole in the cap made a difference. I had to drive the car hard before there was a fuel problem now. So it's still not right yet, but much better. When I installed the lower control arms I notice something rattling around in the tank. I plan on dropping the tank this weekend, and seeing what going on in there. If there's something restricting the electric pump, I'll fix it. If not then I'll go ahead with the mechanical pump.
Below is what I did to make the gas cap into a vented cap. Disassembled the cap, and drilled a 5/64" hole in it. When reassembled it would be hard for water, or dirt to get in the tank.
