As title states and I'm confused as to which pump to order...For a 1978 mercruiser I/O 120-My serial# is 5324631 which brings me to the right pump according to the serial number but it seems my lower is the retrofit alpha according to the ID pics of outdrives.

All the raw water pump housing, kits, impellers for the MC-1 through the Alpha I drives are the same. You can not use an Alpha I Gen II.

Don't forget to lube the impeller when you put it back together. Dish soap, glycerin, silicone spray.
