    you could  just  drill a 1/4 hole  in one transfer port cover  put  a  small square  omc pump on a plate (also drill 1/4 inch in line with the pump ‘s rear pulse port .

    Before you do all this  choose the best port  so the pump will not interfeer with the cowl.

    the carb  should be ok as is.

    see OMC  mod  in picture  adjust the plate  to match the transfert port cover ….. mount the pump, plate and  transfer port      with  longer bolts  .

    you may need to  resurface the transfert port  cover  over flat sand paper  surface doing figure 8s     to make it 100% flat under the new aluminum plate .

    attach the pump from the under side of the new plate.

    you can off-set the pump  so bolt heads will  fit  in the transfer port  cavity   just make  certain the pulses will reach the pump’s rear port…. apply  sealant on the transfert port  rim to prevent  leaks   under the plate

    hook up the pump  to a  new side fuel  connector or  directly to the  fuel tank.   hook up the fuel outlet to the carb

     

    all that said  and done..   purists will disagree  modifying your antique  ob
