I took the dash panel off to test mine, you just ohm across the pins that should select. if one doesn't connect its bad.
I had a hard time getting the connector pin to make sense when I did mine. It seems like my readings were close to that.
with the pump disconnected you could jumper the FP relay to give you 12volts, otherwise you only get it for 3 seconds after you turn the key on.

I was able to print out the auction on ebay for a fuel pump and take to my local parts store and they had the same pump and matched the price. Saved me $30.00. Thanks guys. Here's my question when installing the filter on the bottom of the new pump which way does it go? A friend was over and pulled the old one apart before I had a chance to look at it. I've included some pics. Take a look and let me know what you think. I can still turn it however it needs to go.

There's not a certain way so it sits right in the tank? For the proper flow? What about the buss connectors? Any problems with them being exposed to gas in the tank? Looking to install in the morning. Thanks again for all the help.

Secondly, you would need a spark or other heat source. Current running through a wire isn't going to do it.

Crimped the wires with the buss connectors. Took the pump outside and hooked it to the harness. Put the selector switch to the front tank turned the key on and.............IT WORKED!!!!!! Now remember from my previous post I was able to do this with the old pump and when I raised the tank it quit working. Don't believe I'll have the same problem this time. (fingers crossed) Even after removing the old pump again I was never able to get it to work again. I moved the lever again on the fuel level sending unit and the gauge responded. I'll post sometime in the coming days and let you guys know. Today was able to also change the tranny fluid and the fuel filter. Giving everything a routine maintenace as this truck has 172,000 miles on it and still has the original clutch. Got it brand new with .7 miles on it in 1995. The way I figure it this money spent is still cheaper than a monthly payment. So no special way for the filter on the bottom?

I've changed or removed/reinstalled 5 fuel pumps in the last 6 months. When I removed the pump from the tank on my parts truck, that I was installing on my driver, the filter came off. Since the removed pump was good I went to reinstall the filter so I could store the pump for future use. Only then did I notice the little diagram on the bottom of the pump showing how to index the filter. This pump module has been replaced since the wiring is butt-spliced. Check the bottom of your pump module.

Well got it put back together and all is good. Front tank is working. Have not taken it out on a road test but fired right up in the driveway and ran smooth. My old fuel pump and the new one both had the same outline on the bottom as in ncranchero's picture. That's a cool little nugget of info to have in the future. Gonna replace cap, rotor, plugs, wires, air filter, pcv valve and filter in the morning. Also changed the oil and filter today. Thanks for all the help guys I really appreciate it.

Of all the pumps I had changed, I had not seen that until last week. I always just put the new filter on like the old one came off. You didn't have that to go by. Glad to have been a help!
