I may replace my pump so appreciate the Spectra recommendation. There are LOTS of threads discussing mechanical fuel pumps and how the quality can be suspect. I think mine (unknown brand) may be supplying excess pressure and contributing to my historic flooding issues. I just installed a Spectra gas tank and I was happy with it, so I held a fuel-pump click festival yesterday to look for a Spectra pump.
The Spectra part number for the 3-line short can pump is
SP1161MP. If you follow the link to the Spectra website, they show the finish is the modern "iridescent" chromate, which I suspect would not be "accurate" if you are trying to restore the car. For me, knowing it might work is more important.
Mine is a 70 2-bbl 350 with AC which may be different than your 69 4-bbl 350HO but I think they used the same pump, as both are 3-line short can.
The options for me locally are:
NAPA: NAPA Brand FUP B0169P ($46), Delphi DFP MF0155 ($37)
O'Reilly: Premier ??? ($23 ?) , Delphi MF0155 ($34)
Autozone: Delphi AMF0155 ($40),
Spectra B1161MP ($23)
Online I also found:
Carter: M4885 ($20 to $40)
Ames doesn't seem to offer a 3-line short can pump.
I was leaning "name brand" (Delphi or Carter), but Spectra is less expensive and now has an endorsement! I don't know why Autozone lists a different PN than on the Spectra site but I assume they are the same part.
