I sourced a pump from one of our vendors more than a decade ago and it did not have the spade connectors.  I bent some up and attached them to the new pump's bolts.  It's worked ever since.

 Hi folks,

I just got back my 84 from a new to me mechanic. 

He installed a new Bosh Fuel pump from his supply. 
The thing is the new old pump has the spade connectors.  I think it must be new old stock.  He didn’t charge me much for it but it is clearly new. 

When did they stop making the spade connector pumps?

I’m so glad I had him change the pump.  I almost said don’t bother I know how to do it but decided to let him do it. 

Now I think I have a new old Bosh and it is exactly like the old one from the 84!
