Need help finding replacement in tank fuel pump

It a 1986 E350 460 Coachmen conversion with dually rear wheels. I've tried all the fuel pump unit that I was told is an exact fit from local parts stores but none of them have the same three-prong connection or the 6 bolt down pattern to hold it in the tank Centered. It's 6.5 in across 6 bols that are spaced 2in apart with a triangular 3-pin connection and the wires are red with black stripe and orange wire and a black wire. In the picture you'll notice I've had to rig it up because the metal outlet ends were cracked and leaked fuel so I had to fix it. Everything was working until I spring another leak at the connection and fixed it. I forgot to connect the electrical back so it started up ran until the fuel in the lines we're gone and shut down on me tried reconnecting it and now the engine won't start but cranks right up using starter fluid I tested just a pump and I can feel it turning on with it out of the tank but it's not sending the fuel the whole way I want to replace the fuel pump anyway so I need replacement parts and can't find one that fits

I cut hole thru floor to acess

There are places that will rebuild a sending unit. Maybe try a radiator shop? Or an internet search. or you could contact Ford NOS places like Green Sales.
