Update

Fuel pump came in. It looks EXACTLY like the one pictured on pelican ($263 VDO) and the E-bay example listed by nine8six, above, for $236 ( VDO). I've worked in MFG and know that mfg's can have different standards/ boxes/ labels for the same product but find myself wondering what more I gained by paying Porsche (Sunset) almost $200 more. Learned some stuff while installing it:

1) you have to carefully pre-bend the fuel hoses into a similar shape as the old ones or they'll interfere with the fuel level float. You want them to pass the sending unit on the OPPOSITE side of the float apparatus. I used 2 zip-ties to insure they did this (in Pelican's technical DIY, Wayne noted this as well).

2) the rubber gasket should be placed INSIDE of the tank neck FIRST, then insert the sending unit into it, as you attach the fuel lines and electrical connector.

3) with the vehicle running the gauge recorded 45 lbs
