Don - the pump you showed has the "bubble", for lack of a better word, on the outlet side of the pump. From what I've read that was only a thing on the '51-52 pumps. But they should all be interchangeable between years I would think.

I'm heading back into the garage to do some troubleshooting. I'm going to get the car running today. Hopefully.

****EDIT - just checked the vacuum ports while the engine cranks, and there is definitely suction. So the pump seems to be installed on the cam correctly. I'm at a loss here. I think my next step is to disconnect the flex hose and see if I can either suction or pressurize fuel to reach that point. Then maybe inject some fuel into the inlet side of the pump?
