M38A1 Vacuum/Fuel Pump Question

[voodoo4]

The mechanical vacuum/fuel pump in my 52 M38A1 is corroded and needs much TLC.

I have two questions.

The lower section of the pump contained a small amount of oil. Perhaps I have misunderstood something. I thought the vacuum system was dry. Is there supposed to be a lubricant in this system?

In any case the pump needs attention. Is there any particular vendor you would recommend for a rebuild kit, or to do the rebuild for me?

I am dead in the water with my restoration right now. Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
