I am also looking for a NOS fuel pump for my car. Does anyone know where I can find a NOS or equal pump for my car?

If you wish an absolutely correct fuel pump in every nuance of detail, including stamped numbers and "AC" logo on sides of casting, then you'll have to locate an NOS pump, not an "or equal". Beware, though, many of these so-called NOS pumps on the market are actually rebuilt. I NEVER recommend the use of rebuilt, crimp-type pumps. Anyway, what you're looking for is an AC type 40709, aka GM #6470110. You want one in an AC box to help ensure that it's NEW and not rebuilt. Expect to pay $200+ dollars for one on eBay or elsewhere.
Also, beware that later AC pumps (those manufactured after about 1985) will not have the "AC" logo or, in many cases, even the stamped numbers. These nuances changed over time. You may be able to find one of the later 40709's in Delco dealer stock---these things have not been discontinued for too long.
If you are satisfied with a pump of correct configuration, guaranteed new, and with the primary difference between original being the lack of AC logo and stamped numbers, then get yourself a Carter M6120. Basically, it's exactly the same thing as contained in later AC boxes with 40709 number on them. About 25 bucks.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -
