Has it developed a crack near one of the bolt holes from being over torqued,or does it have an irregular mounting face created during casting?

Reportedly it was misinstalled years ago and cracked on the inside of the left hand bolt hole, so it was removed and never used (NOS). Not a problem to repair, just wanted to get set up with the right gas and wire for the metal at hand. Any thoughts are appreciated. Cumby says Kim is no wizard!!!

If this topic has run it's course, perhaps I can migrate to a similar issue:

How is/are the fittings attached to the anodized portion of the pump? I have an NOS pump for my deuce, and after installation it leaked like a fountain, (Pittsburgh WoW show!). Turns out, the 'block' fitting has a small split where it attaches to the base, apparently not completely attached when initially assembled. I've thought about epoxy, but would like a more permanent solution - if any??
