    Unless it's absolutely necessary, why not replace the mechanical one with a new one ? (available from NAPA):) :D

    I know speedway and others sell a 6 volt Stewart Warner pump for like 70 or so bucks...but I'd be inclined to stay with the stock pump provided that your car ran fine with the stock pump before.
