Lance,
Just replaced mine in the 87 240 and the Scan-Tech aftermarket pump from FCP Groton worked great. Likewise the sock, though it's only a good fit by virtue of being TOO TIGHT, unlike the original one which is flat and very difficult to get out. My new pump came with some short pieces of fuel hose in the box. One was all I needed.
I ended up replacing the entire sending unit on mine because the tubing was completely rusted out at the top. Not leaking gas yet, but it was close to it. And DAMN that NUT was hard to get back in, with a new O-ring under there. The recommedation is to replace that O ring every time you service the sending unit. My advice: Keep your old one in case you get real frustrated trying to install the new one. In mine the nut would only turn about 1/4 inch then it was just too tight to move. Of course I'm not using IPD's magic tool but still... it came apart easily enough. Did eventually swear at it enough to get it into place.
