I applaud your desire to "keep it stock". Ford motor company engineers didn't think an electric pump necessary. Granted, these cars were usually started several time a day when new, not so much these days. I am sure that I will be using my squirt bottle of gas to give my '51 a little boost when I get back from 6 months in away this winter, but after that, it should be fine (it always has been).
