Is the fuel pump arm bend important?

I have a 460, not sure from what year as previous owner did not know either.

The fuel pump is not sucking the fuel and I am about to replace it the pump. I cannot find a pump with the same bending of the arm. I found one that looked similar but it was on an Australian site, the other side of the world. Shipping would cost more than the pump itself.

Is the bending of the arm important or can I use a generic Carter pump like this one? https://dalhems.com/sv/p/5ca3cc340ea341258e869dde00932540/bensinpump-mekanisk-Muscle-Car

The M6878 looks to have the same offset built into the arm.

Thank you Hemikiller. I have ordered one and hope it fits. I will know in a few weeks.

Just wanted to update. The pump fit and after letting the starter work for a while the beast finally started! Thank you Hemikiller for giving me the courage to order it.
