There is no external fuel pump- the "lift pump" is part of the injection pump assembly.
Although this certainly qualifies as "vintage", there is more traffic in the diesel forum, so you might want to post a link over there.

Ok, I've never replaced steel lines before, so I think I'm just gonna leave them for now. I think dropping the tank is a good idea if it's easy. I could definitely make sure it's clean that way.
I'm in fairfield county, CT by the way.

That knob MUST push all the way in with no spring- back to release the key. There's too much back pressure on it thru the cable.

Ok great, I will try that today. Thanks for the tip!
