The chain auto parts stores started selling new replacement pumps for Y-blocks a couple decades ago. The guts inside the new pumps are not like the originals and not interchangeable, so if you still have a factory original pump, DO NOT discard it. Keep it and have it rebuilt if possible.
You would be very lucky to get a pump made in china of any quality to last anywhere near the original pumps normal life expectancy.
