Dennis :
IMO, you shouldn't have a problem. I've rebuilt mine several times over the
years, and never had a problem with high fuel pressure. Plus, it's easy to
reduce the pressure produced by a mechanical pump, all you have to do is
weaken the spring, which can be done with a pair of pliers. Compare the new
spring to the old, if it seems a great deal stronger, then re-use the old
one.
However, you might want to look at your repro pump before going to all that
trouble. Not all of them use a friction fit for the pin, some use the
original circlip, and some are very securely peened over.
