You can get that pump at a lot of places, our host and others. I got my banjos on Amazon, but mine is only to block the holes on the 12 mm check valve (note the JB weld block in post 43), then the coupler and a 12 mm to 10 mm piece (the one I used is
https://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/more_info.cgi?pn=911-608-211-00-OEM). This method is illustrated in Tony's second pic in post #8, but note the pressure line has a clamp, yours wont.
You can use the 12 mm banjo and a clamp at your own discretion but it is not the recommended permanent solution by the two experts (Tony and John) who supported this thread.
I suggest the coupler method or even better, have Len Cummings build you a new fuel line with a 12 mm fitting fastened on to the hose the right way (no clamp). If you do the Len Cummings method, then you can get the John Walker fuel pump he talks about, which looks more like the original. Plus you get new lines for your 45 year old vehicle. This method is a bit more expensive than the pump, 12 mm check, banjo plug, coupler, 12 mm to 10 mm piece in link above and the cap method.
Or, if you have a hoist you might be able to follow JW's instructions and ream you line from 10 mm to 12 mm and keep the right fitting (and forget the three extra parts, banjo, coupler and12 mm to 10 mm adapter). I would not try it when laying on my back ...
