You said you have a 53 so that arm would be much shorter than the 55-6 pump and similar in shape to the arm on this pump from the service manual. Also, when installing the pump don't forget the thick fiber plate or gasket that goes between the pump and block. The fiber plate along with fiber bushings which fill the extra space in the large bolt holes is part of a heat insulator kit. The plate acts as both a heat insulator and sort of a shim. The extra thickness moves the pump a bit farther away from the cam so the arm is not stressed quite as much.
