    If i remember right the way you deside which fuel pump your car uses is weather it has a generator  or alternator.If your car has a generator the fuel pump is taller is tnis correct.

    Sort of. It’s more if you have a generator the pump stands straight up. If you have an alternator, because the rear end of the alternator is larger diameter, you need the pump that leans (tilts) back to allow room for the alternator. ALSO…the fuel pump shaft for an alternator is about a 1/4 inch shorter. Wrong shaft is not good.
