Help Fuel pump question

Hello. The fuel pump that came out of my van has a straight fuel pump arm like the one in the first image. But the new fuel pump that a guy put in for me, which was specified on the website, has a curved arm like the second image. Could this make a big difference in terms of the fuel pressure and delivery to the carburetor?

Not sure on that, though be sure to test the static pump output pressure regardless. A mechanic's vacuum gauge will do this quickly and easily.
