fuel pump issue, 300cid
My dad has an '82 F150 that was sold to him as an '84. Fuel pump started venting (or something...) out a hole in the side of the case so he went to Advance Auto to get one for an '84. The new one has very little flow, not nearly enough to fill the line from the pump to the carb. Advance Auto claims in late '84 the part numbers change and had my dad verify the build date (which is how we now know/think it's an '82: 11/81). I've checked Napaonline, Autozone, and Advance Auto's site and the part numbers appear to be the same from '82 to '86 so its confusing me.
How can we verify which fuel pump this motor needs, if the '84 pump is the wrong one?

Just looked up a few different places and they all list the '82 and the '84 as having the exact same model number.
They used the same carb, intake, exhaust, etc. so even if so, there's no reason the fuel flow should be different. It sounds like you just got a bum fuel pump.

Sounds like what AbandonedBronco said,bad new pump,just try another,but make sure you check your oil for gas smell.The old pump may have lost some gas into the crankcase,maybe not,but check just to be sure.

Already dumped out the gas/oil and put new oil in.
So it's more likely to be a bad pump then a wrong one?
Kinda what I was thinking anyway, especially after looking at different places having all the same part numbers.
