fuel pump relay - 240/260 the same? 200 1982

The fuel pump relay went bad on my '82 240. Jumpered the approriate wires and got the buzzing. So I went down to the local u-pull place and found a fresh looking relay from a 260, with same pin numbers (30,15,87b,etc) and color as mine, but a slightly different part number.

It's also stamped 12V/30A, mine is 12V/16A. Can I plug it in and expect things to run, or is it going to fry my ECU or something?

Most likely will work, the 16A vs 30A refers to the contact current ie it will pass 30 amps. It's actually more robust than you need.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I plugged it in, along with a new(er) spliced in connector and things seem to work so far.
