Hold the old and new pump next to one another, and check the angle of the
arm. Sometimes the arms can look identical and are not. There's no
adjustment, I just have the feeling that they gave you the wrong pump. Also,
just in case, check the rubber hose that goes from the tank to the fuel line
on the back end. If it's cracked or holed, any vacuum leak in the line to
the tank, will prevent the pump from being able to draw pressure.
