ON 69 Lotus Europa - 13B rotary....Fuel pump problems

Hi, I am a new member here and I've recently purchased a 1969 Lotus Europa. The previous owner of the car swapped in a 13B Rotary out of an 86(or so i am told) Mazda rx-7. According to the old owners it was running and then all of a sudden quit one day and they never bothered to get it running again. We've been diagnosing the problem and have isolated the fuel pump to be the issue(car wasn't getting fuel so we removed the pump and bench tested it...it's not working). I am not familiar with rotaries at all so I am not sure what kind of fuel pump I need to replace this with(most importantly what p.s.i) the current pump is a bosch electric unit. What can I replace it with?? or what psi does my replacement pump need to be?
Thanks

That is the pump for an 86.

This is a bosch 044 aftermarket pump for comparison.
