I think I may have one, can you confirm the tag ID
and correct me if im wrong, should the return fitting just have a slight angle? (not a 90 degree bend)

You are correct on the slight downward angle and no 90 degree bend.

Okay, so I saw the one on EBay. I had the understanding that 70 CJs had a female fitting on the back of the pump. The one on EBay has a male fitting. Am I just confused?

Bob, I have a replacement pump on my car now, so I am not 100% sure what the tag needs to say. I?m pretty sure that Royce may know. Anyway, If we can determine that it is correct for my car, I would be interested.

I think you are confused. The pump on eBay is 100% correct.

You are confused they are supposed to have a male fitting and the return nipple on the back side.

The identification on the tag typically would read HBA-BR for 1970 428 .

I have a used HBA-BR PS pump that I would sell for a fraction of what the NOS ebay pump is selling for. PM me if you want to go the used route .
