I guess i should just get the pump out and throw 14 volts at it and see id ir runs.

Yes, Frozen, Seized, I've never had luck getting them going again, and just replace them, if they are frozen....but the rest of the fuel system might need attention too

Cool thanks!

I'll probably order a pump and go from there.

Is a 255 overkill for the stock regulator?

I know guys used to put a newer 42 psi regulator on, but wouldn't that just make me run a bit rich all the tine?

I've always run a stock pump, so someone else will have to chime in to answer that.
