Can anyone tell me the approximate dimensions of the Dukes fuel pump used for an IO-360?  I think it's the same one as for an IO-320.  I'm going to be laying out the firewall-mounted components over the Christmas holidays and drilling holes in the firewall.  Obviously I can't drill the holes for the pump, but I can leave enough space for it.  I have held one of these things in my hand, so I know the general size and shape and where the fuel goes in and out (so I can leave space for the plumbing), but I don't know the dimensions.  I was going to simulate it with a beer can atop two cat food cans, but I thought one of you might be able to give me better data.  Besides, I might drink the beer and then eat the cat food, and where would I be then?

Serves me right for not ordering it until early December.  It's backordered right now.

If anyone were super motivated (he says, begging shamelessly), a sketch could be faxed to 805-693-8122 on Thursday or Friday....
