Fuel pump

[Regal2800]

I am changing the fuel pump on my 8v92 and the new pump sounds like something is loose or sliding around on the inside when I shake it or flip side to side. Is this normal or is something wrong with the pump?

That is not normal!

Speaking of this matter, when I was helping a neighbor on his 3-53 we changed out his worn fuel pump and knowing I needed one as well, sent my SN with him to the Detroit dealer (8v92 650 hp).

We both have the same pump!

Should I be amazed that Detroit used a common pump across all lines, or concerned that the fuel flow for my engines is not too different from one maybe 1/4th the displacement or 1/6th the HP ratio?

Opinions?

There are only four different fuel pumps for DDs. RH, LH and std cap, hi cap. combinations. If you saw how modular the design of DDs is you wouldn't be surprised at all.
