223 fuel pump difference
I was looking through a parts catalog and found that there are two different types of fuel pumps for the 223 with electric wipers and with vacuum wipers. I have a 59 with a 223 and stock vacuum wipers. I have an electric wiper motor that I plan on replacing. What is the difference?

To be honest I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. Might need to install a NPT plug in the unused port? To keep out debris. Here's where I hector you to check the fuel pump pressure output though regardless. The last new pump I bought put out 8.5 psi and trashed the viton rubber needle tip in the carburetor. Stock pressure is 5 psi or so. Make sure they don't sell you junk, make sure what's installed now is serviceable.

I don't have a good picture of my existing pump and I don't have my truck with me at the moment but as far as I can tell that its the original glass bowl type.
I plan on rebuilding it and I'll be sure to cap the port. Thanks for the fuel pressure notes!

The two other pictured pumps were not used with 223's. 223 cancelled at the end of the 1964 model run, replaced in 1965 with 240 & 300 I-6's
