That's OK! It's easy to see it's a 30cc pump. The bowl thickness appears to be the same as the flange area where the screws go. The 50cc pumps have deeper bowls and appear thicker than the flange area.
Wish I had checked Ebay and found those kits you linked before I bought mine from Summit! I paid twice that for my kits!

Well this weekend should be productive. I hope to have the 50cc pumps. and a new speed-O cable because I removed the cruise control unit. My girlfriend's brother has a hood that he had in the back of his shop that he is donating to the cause. Free is really nice...lol

Decided to go with two push-in breathers instead of running a pcv valve. Any thoughts on this idea??? Will re-think it if it starts making a mess of things.

Things to do.....
Route fuel lines from carb's to pump.
Install Lokar throttle cable.
Install Lokar kick-down cable.
Replace lower heater hose.(yuck)
Wire up coil and distributer.
Install 50cc pumps.
Install speed-O cable.
Run vacuum lines for booster,modulator and hvac.
Change oil (w/additive)
Fire this baby up...

Should **** my neighbors off running the car @2000 rpm for 20 minutes or so,since the car has 3inch exhaust with Dynomax race bullet mufflers(if you want to call them that)

Will update the thread with pic's and info. And probably a couple questions I would venture to say.....

Sounds great to me. I eliminated my PCV valve also and went with 2 breathers. So far it's been fine.

You're way better off with one PCV valve in one cover, and one breather in the other. The PCV will suck out the crankcase venting as opposed to the engine having to push it out the breathers, which makes it easier on the engine and seals. Plus, the circulation of air through the crankcase helps to pull moisture out, which extends the life of your oil, and in turn, your engine. Leave it connected.

Got the throttle cable installed but it seems like it is not pulling straight from where it goes through the firewall. May have to do some tweaking to the pedal or the mounting position...

Going to wire the coil and distributor today. Straighten out the throttle cable issue. Install the kick-down cable. Get fluids in it and hope to fire it up......

Well... I think the throttle is had to push do to the rod that connects the carbs together... I think there should be some sort of bushing or washers on the linkage that isn't there. It is not to bad but would be on a long drive.....I got the ignition all wired up and mad the new coil wire. change the fluids and tried to fire it up....What do ya know...SHE RUN'S.....
