1986 Mercruiser 140 fuel filter

Can I put my (working) old design fuel filter (bell pointing up) on a Mercruiser 140 that looks like it takes a new design fuel filter (bell pointing down)?
Thanks for the help! Looks like the arm that rids on the engine cam is pointing the wrong way...

if you are talking about the fuel pump, with the filter in the bowl, yes, you can mount either one to the engine....the arm will be on opposite sides of the cam when switching types.....the bigger concern is the plumbing's gonna be a bit short, so you'll have to get/make a new hard tube...
 
Thanks for the advice. You are right about the length of the fuel line. However I can use my existing fuel line with the "old style" pump and it will fit. I was concerned about the arm breaking something once inside the engine.
You were a big help!
Thanks
