The fuel pump is pretty much the same for the 216/235/261 chev motors, readily available from Jimmy Carter, Tim Tygart, Chevs of the 40s, Rockauto, NAPA and probably others. The originals had the glass sight bowl (or a metal equivalent) but the later one piece metal pumps are functionally similar. You are better off if you can get the version with inlet and outlet in a straight line parallel to the block. Also, resist the temptation to use the combination fuel/vacuum pump due to space limitations.

The master cylinder is more of a challenge. The original is mounted by 2 studs out of the bottom of the casting, slightly staggered on a fore and aft axis. The basic shape is available from suppliers but not often in the required 1-1/4 inch diameter (and I'm not comfortable with the idea of boring out the casting meant for a 1 inch diameter to 1-1/4 inch since they are visually different sizes).
