You can buy a new fuel pump whether your car has the 290 V8 or the 232 six cylinder.  A fuel pump should be available at your nearest auto parts store.  If you have the vacuum wipers, the pumps are not as commonly available and you may need to special order one or have your existing pump rebuilt.  
 
The heater valve can be replaced with a generic plastic inline valve. You will need to install a pipe nipple outlet on the engine and then just put the new valve in-line in the heater hose.
 
Good luck,

I noticed that the Rambler was running warmer than usial, Yesterday I took the radiator to be cleaned and got it back today, installed it and found a water leak. The heater valve is rusted and the metal pipe broke off. The piece that broke off is still inside the rubber pipe. No other plan, so I blanked it off.

I allowed it to idle for about ten minutes, and discovered another leak.
The fuel pump was squirting a thin stream of petrol . Now this is the original fuel pump and is 41 years old. I dont think any modern fuel pump will last so long. By tighting the screws it stopped to leak, but I think it is time for a new pump. Would there be any pumps available? or should I go for a electric pump.
