Grady,
Thank you for helping with a starting point.
This car is a '69 2-liter track car with street tags which I've just purchased. Car has PCA logbooks dating back to 1999, run on the east coast, midwest and some in Canada, raced by Gary Hess, and I understand car is originally from either Colorado or Nevada, and has been a race car for much of it's life. (not sure about this).
My intent is to run in vintage events and PCA, I live on the coast in Wilmington, NC. Budget is not unlimited, but I want to do it right.
Fuel cell, which I had to remove to get to the mounting points of the pumps, is an ATL 15 gallon tank, which has an "out-of-date" stamp of 12/31/12. Container has never been damaged, and I doubt it has ever been back to ATL for inspection. The foam age is unknown. (I should replace?)
I think the cell and the mounting of it works. For right now I would like to leave the pumps where they are, maybe figure out a way to remove them if needed without having to take the tank out. But I would like to have a plan for how to ideally reconfigure.
With one pump not working, what type should I replace with? In the link you provided to "circulating fuel systems" there was a lot of great information, alot of it over my head, but you mention you prefer a rotary pump.
I would like to learn how to do as much as possible, this forum is incredible, falling back on an HSR oriented shop for the big stuff.
Below are pics.
And I need to add a fire suppression system.
Thanks for all the help.

ATL 15 GALLON FUEL CELL, HAD TO REMOVE TO UNATTACH TWO FUEL PUMPS WHICH ARE MOUNTED IN THE SMUGGLERS BOX.
FUEL PUMP, THERE ARE TWO, NO NAME ON THEM.
FUEL PUMPS ARE MOUNTED IN HERE, I'VE TAKEN ONE OUT.
AND FUEL LINES FROM THE PUMPS HAVE A "T" FITTING INTO A SINGLE LINE
AND RUN BACK TO THE ENGINE.
STEEL LINE COMES UP AND "T'S" OFF TO THE LEFT CARB.
AND DEAD ENDS AT THE RIGHT CARB.
