Look at Mossmotors.com under P/N 376-108. Should be all the bits you need
for $50.

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?
