PW arrived post hurricane Jeanne

Well my 63 WM300 arrived friday and from a body standpoint-it was worth the wait. It has been sittting in a private museum for the past 24 years so there are some issues. Fuel pours out of the fuel pump on the side facing the block so obviously I cant drive it until I get a new one. Anyone know where to purchase one? Also a slow coolant leak but its hard to figure where its coming from. The water pump appears to be dry all around. The coolant drips slowly from the bottom pulley. I reached up under and behind the pulley and can feel some sort of gasket or packing ring material behind the pulley that is wet. You can rotate the packing around the pulley shaft with your finger. Brakes are needing wheel cylinder rebuilds. I'll have to wait for the manuals to arrive from VPW and go from there. I'm hoping the coolant leak is not a big issue. All said- I'm happy to own it.
