looking for some ideas

I do a lot of corner carving, and run the stock unbaffled fbody fuel tank

my pump gets hot and noisy, and starves out up hills and corners all the time lately

when I got the car, the fuel sender was patched together with just the ol' hoseclamped walbro pump mod, the bucket was gone

stock lt1 pump "bucket" looks like a sealed container with a check valve, return line feed, and a vent hose? never had one apart

well I can't find a sender in good shape to harvest for parts, so I want to diy a bucket.

any pointers? has anyone ever taken apart a gm pump bucket?

anyone have any idea how the damn thing works?
