Re: any way to check fuel pump?
I can't think of a way. But you could try to listen if it's noisy with an electronic "whine" when you first turn the key, or if you jumper the fuel pump test wire (on the firewall) and listen to the fuel pump with the motor off. Most walbros make a significant amount more noise than a stock fuel pump. I can slightly hear the Walbros on both my cars even when the engines are running.
You could run a wideband O2 sensor and watch if it goes lean at WOT, if it doesn't, then your fuel delivery should be adequate.. This is the proper way to monitor the safety of an engine anyways (along with monitoring the knock sensor).

Re: any way to check fuel pump?
Without using a calibrated DC regulated power supply, pressure monitor and a measuring vessel I would say "NO". All pumps have a spec that covers approximate fuel delivery at a given amperage and pressure. You can see some the specs here under "Fuel Pumps, In-tank, Technical".
Did the seller do anything that made you doubt his claims? If he was an active member on here, perhaps someone can vouch for his claims.

Not sure of his name or Loging name. he was at the homecomming & he drove A SY. with his Grilfriend. is Sy. had the little Lund wing on the tailgate. He even stoped over to look at the TY. when he was here for the homecomming & said he worked on with the Guy I got it off of.
