Tony;
Not sure about your pump not knowing exactly which one you have,but, Carter and Edelbrock mechanical pumps can be taken apart and the top or bottom turned to relocate the inlet and outlet if neccassary...Check with the manufacter on this,it may be a simple fix as little as turning the top half or bottm half to suit your needs.... I had to do just that with my Carter pump to give more clearance around the
oil filter.....
