Hi John:

Here's a reprint of a post which aptly addresses your questions:

     The fuel pump can be rebuilt with Delco EP-254.  The strainer that 
fits on the bottom is Delco TS-7.  The EP-254 fits perfectly, except you 
have to use the stock alfa rubber hose as it steps up to half an inch.  The 
TS-7 is T shaped.

If it works, don't thank me, as I haven't tried it yet, but kept Russ' post 
just in case.

Regards.
