Can you get a fuel pump from Napa?
need a new fuel pump where can i get one, Napa maybe?
What kind of fuel pump do you currently have? If it's one of the original mechanical fuel pumps I think you'll have to try one of the usual parts places, like John at Mid West Military http://www.midwestmil.com/, or VPW.
Might want to try a rebuild kit too. I got a rebuild kit from John at MWM and it was a pretty basic job to rebuild it.

You might still be able to get a civvy fuel pump to fit from NAPA et al, but it won't have the vacuum pump on top for your wipers. Like GregL said...the "usual suppliers" are your best bet. There is a place called "Then/Now" (or some such name) that does a tremendous job of rebuilding the originals. Some of the guys on the forum have used them with outstanding results. I'm sure they will fill us in on the details. 

"PER ARDUA AD ITER"
As others have mentioned - we bought the rebuild kit from MWM, my son opened it up and a small b-b rolled across the kitchen table...
We did not have a place to properly soak/clean, etc. so we ended up returning the kit and going to Then & Now. For less than $100, the thing came back like new -the kit was somewhere half that.

Fuel Pump
I bought my fuel pump online from an outfit called PartsAmerica.com. Mine is a civy unit (Carter model 847 to be exact). As was mentioned if you plan to run the original style wipers then you will need the original style with the vacuum pump. If your plan is to do like me and replace the vacuum wipers with electrical units, then the civy one will work fine.
