I keep a clickity clack electric pump with alligator clips on the +/- end with some rubber fuel lines on it. So long as a car has a carb on it, it'll get you home, or to the parts store.
For sure your adaptation is working but I question the reliability of the stacking of the lever pivot pin. If it were me, be sure that I'd used two large head screws to lock permanently the pivot pin in place. the consequence of a failure of the stacking is a breakdown where you're not the most comfortable and the risk of damaging the camshaft and the engine block.
@@jacquespoirier9071 if this was to be a long term fix, I completely agree. The obvious fix is the correct fuel pump, but this is just to get the fuel system functioning enough to run the engine longer and see if the car will move under its own power.

@@TargaWheels that’s a great addition to for the “get you home” kit, like a spare ballast resistor.
I always wondered if a v8 pump would work. Nice
@@MTAndreas yup, just gotta do some fuel line yoga and it works!
