Oil Pump ???

I'm about to order the Melling oil pump from Jegs, but what's the difference between these two pumps?

689-M55 - SB-Chevy Stock Replacement

689-M55A - SB-Chevy Z28 Hi-Output

Does the high output mean high volume or high pressure or both?

Thanks,

Jody J.

I think it means hi volume but not high pressure. I'm not sure on that though.

Can someone clarify this?

M55:
Chevrolet: 200-262 (3.3L-4.3L) V6, 262-409 V8, standard volume, steel, cast, OEM replacement oil pump

Don't waste time installing an old worn-out oil pump when you can get this brand new Melling oil pump at such a low cost. This pump is manufactured from high quality steel with all new components and is individually hand turned and pressure tested to guarantee it'll perform as good as OEM.
$15.95


M55A:
Chevrolet: 302, 350, and 409 OEM performance engines, standard volume, steel, cast, OEM replacement oil pump

Don't waste time installing an old worn-out oil pump when you can get this brand new Melling oil pump at such a low cost. This pump is manufactured from high quality steel with all new components and is individually hand turned and pressure tested to guarantee it'll perform as good as OEM.
$29.95

I noticed the M55A is the ones that More Performance sells:
More Performance uses the Melling High Performance oil pumps and "blueprints" them for every engine we build. We machine, debur and check every mounting surface for parallelism and proper clearances. We also tig weld the correct oil pump pickup in place. More Performance now offers these custom oil pumps for your LT1/L98 engine build up.
Item # MEL M55A
Price...$69.00
I'd like to know the difference too.
