[Mgs] Fuel pump replacement--connection questions

I'm replacing a junky plastic fuel pump (that cracked and started leaking 
profusely) on my '79 
B with a factory-style pump.  I'm looking for ideas on how to get the new pump 
hooked up.

The problem is that the previous pump was connected with rubber hoses clamped 
over 
protruding nubs on the pump.  The new pump has those threaded holes for inset 
connectors.  
I can't find my Haynes manual at the moment, so I don't have any reference 
photos, but that's 
what I assume.  (I envision connectors similar to those used at the ends of the 
brake lines.)  
I'm guessing that from the factory, the hard fuel lines ran all the way to the 
pump.  Now I'm 
missing the last few inches of the hard lines, and the threaded connectors.

So how should I proceed from here?
