Andy,
The pump is driven by an eccentric off the camshaft.
The pump itself has a lever that rides on the eccentric.
Since the fuelpump is quite inexpensive, and readily available,
my assumption would be that the owner was aware that the
camshafts eccentric was worn out, and did what was easiest
to remedy the situation, which is to use an electric.
SV cams seem to be getting rather rare, so if yours is
trully gone, you might consider keeping the electric pump.
Hope this helps.
