Looks like, but was worth the try. All the ideas and brainstorming in this conversation would probably benefit someone in the future.

I wish I had room for a small shop and a driveway big enough to work on a car without interfering with everyday life. If I did, I would have made some type of lift, easy for me since I am an iron worker. Here in New York City room is limited so I'm forced to depend on my mechanic. Anyway, thank you guys for all your help and the quick responses. Great group in this forum!

A used pump is a good idea for someone that is willing to do the work by him/her self. If the used pump is no good (very possible since the cars are very old) and have to pay labor twice it would cost almost as much as a new one, and I would be stuck with an old one.
If I come up with a way to
back pressure fluid through the pump without removing it from the car, I may try. Ds190, I think blockage is possibly the reason, since I found so much mud in the bottom of the tank when I cleaned it, but a new pump is unavoidable at this point.
Thanks,
