My new pump came from Napa, different connectors. orange wire fit right up, the black (ground did not. so I used the new black, cut old one off 1/4 from where it was welded to rail and soldered. still only took 30 minutes.
My new pump did not come with a sock, I had to purchase it from Auto zone.

Here is a walk-through of what you can expect, with photos.
Don't forget to change your strainer (sock).

One of the easiest things I have done on any corvette. I got a AC Delco replacement, Followed the directions, took my time....kept the smokers away as I worked....took about an hour! You might also want to replace fuel filter as mine was almost completely blocked.
