New pump showed up today and it's a left hand rotation where I need a right hand pump. This was packaged incorrectly as the label clearly states "Right Hand" rotation. Located a rebuilt pump on ebay with the exact same part number and the gent shipped it today. This pump is a "Reliabilt" unit and never installed. I'll drop the incorrect pump back in the mail tomorrow morning.
You mentioned that some of the fuel lines have been replaced. Make sure the lines from the gear pump to the secondary filter are rated to hold the pump pressure. They were usually steel from new. I found one which had a rubber carburetor low pressure rated fuel line instead that collapsed on the inside. I have also seen the low pressure primary filters used in the secondary filter canister and they fail plugging the line to the head with little fuel and pressure allowed through. Sounds like you got it figured out, but wanted to share a couple quite common issues we found in the past.
