I pulled the fuel pump and disassembled it tonight. The rubber doesn't look too bad, but it's grunged up and the valves don't appear to be working.

I think if I use a needle nose I can get the valves apart and clean it.

I'll tell you kinda what I'm thinking...for $25 I can get 2 of these:

Fabricate a plate to fit over the old fuel pump, mount 2 pumps right there, and run the power up to a toggle switch on the dash. Then run 2 tanks with a toggle to flip between them. That's pretty much what my Ford flat bed does but with high pressure fuel injection V8. This would be the low pressure version for the single barrel using the above low pressure fuel pumps.
