Stupid question

Does the nipple on the left go to the carb & the one from the right from the tank? I think I have it backwards but hey, I'm a I-6 guy.

Yep, straight down fitting towards engine is outlet, other towards fender is inlet / suction side. If ya have a piece of 5/16 steel brake / fuel line, port in the pump is a female inverted flare made to accept a piece of 5/16 steel line. Put a nice 180 degree turn in it first to turn it so it is pointing up. Check out PavementPounders 401 for sale thread in the for sale section, he has picture of a fuel pump like that on that engine. Looks like things are moving along nicely :t:
