Personal choice Pat, but with all the problems reported on these offshore made parts, I would take the chance. I don't think that would be a problem with an NOS part and if it was my car, that is what I would do. BUT the price is really high, like so many NOS parts you find today. It appears people are willing to pay a lot for these pumps because few show up and when they do, are snapped up right away. Your 68 400 Bird, like your TA are so beautiful, I would stick with originality but that is a personal preference on my part. I remember you finding and rebuilding a correct date coded voltage regulator for that car but that is a different issue, and it didn't cost that much! Good luck and let us know!!
