Got a picture of the pump?
Some pumps can be taken apart and the halves/sections clocked to face the inlet/outlet the way they need to face to clear everything.

Nope, can't rotate that one. I'd say take it back and see what another one looks like. Maybe they assembled it wrong.

Maybe it's for a different year that has the rad. hose on the other side. But then a '73 Barracuda never did come with a 440. You'll probably have to look in the book at the store to see which has the outlet fitting in the proper/better position. Or someone here should know what to get and the part number.

you can still put a short 90 deg elbow in it and fasten it with short peices of hose or just bend a 90 yourself and connect it with hose.if you have about 1 inch to play with.

Quote:
if they even make that fitting
If one of your parts houses has an Edelman fittings section cabinet, they have an amazing array of fittings. According to the water pump inlet thread on this page you just need an early (pre '73) WP housing, they're pretty common and the pic is a common parts house "airtex" low perf fuel pump and very probably a '74 up fuel pump will have the fittings clocked different as a '74 up water pump housing inlet is on the same side as the fuel pump & obviously the fuel pump location never changed so '74 up they were kissing cousins on the pass side. I know on SB's those "airtex" pumps w the crimped seal come in several clockings and a select few of em if you search are actually 3/8" and I'm drilling my SB "airtex" which is required (class rules) to 3/8" nipples for more flow though I've yet to have starvation at 6200 RPM (~300 horse 360 9-1 2bbl) w a stock "airtex" 5/16" fuel pump. Holler how it turns out
