Installing a used but "known good" (we hope) pump looks like a better option.

I know Gus, a great asset in the Bay Area. He rebuilt an IP for me and provided a print out of the "calibration" if you want to call it that, its really the metered flow at various "throttle" positions (I can't help but use the term throttle when it really doesn't apply to a diesel) In the old days they measured the fuel in small test tubes as the IP was set up on what looks like an engine lathe to see the variation from port to port. I don't know what he uises now but its electronic.
Anyhow there was a used IP off a 603 on eBay last week for $475 seller claimed it was off a good running engine. That would have been a great opportunity for you. I'd be calling the wrecking yards if I were you, have you tried Acme up in Santa Rosa?
