5KTQ fuel pump?

[Kneale Brownson]

I don't think that'll fit the kind of pump retainer that was in my '86 and
'87 5ktqs.  Those were the retainers with rubber-like arms that fastened
onto hooks that were held on the pump body by a hose clamp-like device.
When you changed pumps, you had to pull the assembly with the hooks off the
old one and install it on the new one so that the retainer arms could be
fastened in place.  These newer pumps with the sleeves fit into a rigid
basket and have to be set in place and then turned to latch.  The newer
pumps are much smaller in diameter than the originals and you cannot fasten
the old-style hook assembly to them.
