I find the pumps on these systems always go. I've just learned to live without squirters until I get motivated and upgrade to the newer style. (85+).

The replacement pumps now for these coming from places like NAPA are electric and not the same mechanical vacuum pump as original.  I have one on my '77 K20 and it works Great!  Provides more power to squirt higher-up than just the first few inches and provides a pretty good volume.  Simple plug and play.  The downside is that you don't hear the mechanical clicking anymore as the cam rotates round and round!  ;D
