I decided to just buy a new pump since everything else is new. They look the same one has a straight arm an the other has curved. Side by side looks like the flat that runs on the eccentric is in same spot. Also my old one I cant hardly pump by had....the new one is super easy to pump. Are they the same? Same pressure?

My guess is it will be around 6 psi. I run a AZ $20 Airtex OEM pump and run high 11s with a 360.
 
The arm is just of a slightly different design. The end of the arm still lands on the camshaft in either case. It's just different geometry. The new one will work fine.
 
A few years ago Airtex had some quality control issues. I had a brand new one that clattered and barely would pump. If the spring is that much weaker I don't think you will get the same pressure you were. Definitely check your pressure and listen to it with a long screwdriver or stethoscope.
