Default Stock Fuel Pump 1978 302

The old 51 ford truck i own the previous owner installed a 1978 302 in it with a electric fuel pump and no fuel pressure gauge .Sinse the motor is pretty much stock and i seem to have a lot of fuel issues. I thought about just trying to reinstall the stock manual pump. My question is when i purschase the stock pump will i need any kind of fuel pump push rod part .Small Block chevys have to have that but i am not sure about this 302. If i donot do the stock fuel pump and being the motor is pretty much stock what electric fuel and fuel pressure gauge should i run. The engine does have a alum intake and 600 edlebrock carb.I also have a vacumn leak and no idle but i will post that on another post.

Thanks in advance Steve Ocala Florida

Okay well basically, what drives the pump is nothing but an offset wheel attached to the timing chain sprocket called an eccentric. I doubt they actually went through the trouble of opening up the timing cover to remove it. If the did you can always buy the eccentric at most auto part stores.
I must agree with you that this is a rock solid part that doesn't need to be complicated. If it works good then whats the problem.

here is what they look like
