fuel pump
As to your question about what fuel pump you need, it is an Airtex 4070. This was a one year only thing for 54 and the 239. It has a long straight shaft, not the shorter with bend that the other Y blocks have. I don't know if changing your timing cover and whatnot would allow for use of other Y block pumps with the shorter arm.
In no particular order, here are some possible vendors:

There may be some recommendations from others on who could potentially rebuild your single year one hit wonder of a pump.
Anyhow, I have bought fuel pumps for my 54 Cleveland at NAPA.
