There is a slight difference. I needed to drill a tiny hole in the arm in a different location for the retaining clip. It's in and all is good. For any 49-51 guys out there, I suggest getting the Napa ECH VC915. PS, I also checked the vacuum at the carb fitting and it varies from 2-6# as it should depending on rpm's.
