rebuild or not rebuild

I have a holley 700dbbl pumper manual secondary from an old 340 motor and was thinking of using it on a 318, the question is it has been sitting for about 20 years. Some guys say its garbage they never work right if you rebuild it and some say to rebuild it that it should be fine.I never rebuilt one any help would be great
have someone do it for you and itll work just fine. or you can slap it on there and see how she works
