Electric Fuel Pump

I have a Mallory electric pump near the tank of my '34. It is 16 years old. It is not giving me any trouble but I am wondering if I should replace it because of age and corn gas.
If so, any advice I what I should use for common infrequent street use? Like 1,000 miles a year?

I wouldn't concern myself over it. I have never heard of an electric fuel pump compromised by the type of fuel it is exposed to.
I installed one in a pickup going on 22 years now with no problems.

Hard to make the case that the quality has increased with many parts, on average.
