I have a similar fuel pump, outlet and inlet are positioned different than yours. Mine has a small aluminum tag attached under the head of one of the screws on the main body. It has a part number and another number that looks like a build date stamped on it. It looks like your tag may have been lost.

AC made rebuildable fuel pumps like the one pictured for small block & big block Chevrolets. GM part # 6415325 is for the Corvette HP small block & # 6415748 was for the Corvette big block. These fuel pumps were recommended by Chevrolet for racing usage back in the day. I believe the only difference was the fuel pump arm (lever). Big Blocks were usually stamped either 40170 or 40731, Small Blocks had the metal tag with the stamped number. Small Blocks had the cast aluminum bottom cover as shown, Big Blocks had either the cast cover but more often had the stamped steel gold iridite cover. Don.

Hmm, my big block pump is a 40170 with a stamped metal tag, cast cover, nothing stamped on the body. Just "Made in the USA" cast into the underside of the body flange.

Post Fuel Pump..

Looks very similar to the pump for the 68 L78 application...I will have to dig out my original pump and compare.

Looks like they may have been made by Carter.

I’m thinking this is a low HP pump.
As I remember, all the High HP pumps stick out away from the block
by 3/4” or more like on the 40394 L-79 ChevyII Pumps
1965 L-79 was the same way.
A completely different top casting.
All HP pumps use the stamped steel bottom plate I believe.
