No, I think it is a generic replacement pump.
When you turn on the ignition, does it ever stop clicking or does it just
keep on going?

It should, but you could just get another generic pump at Napa.

I think the thing to do is to buy another pump and carry it around in the
trunk. That way, the original pump will last forever.
If it doesn't, I like the trick that someone recently posted here, to
temporarily install the spare pump in the engine compartment richt at the
carb to get home.
Or you could do as Larry says, install 2 pumps.
