So, let me see if I can clarify so I don't screw this up...

I need to find the correct impeller and this impeller can be pressed onto any housing?

The confusion I have is that while I'm looking at pictures of the various pumps, I see some differences but, I don't think I'm understanding what is meant by the "correct" impeller.

For example, I see the stamped units seem to be smaller and have a star shaped pattern. Then, I see the cast units like mine but, I'm told mine is no good... Is it because it's too small? Is it because it's a 6 vane as opposed to an 8 vane that I saw someone post (as OEM)?

Heck, I even checked ebay for a used unit (trying to find this elusive impeller) and they all had 6 vanes and looked a lot like mine.

What am I missing here?

Maybe some sample pics for reference? (They all kinda looks the same to me.)

Here's some of the stuff I'm finding locally: (prices range from $28 -$72)
