How to properly test a fuel pump for functionality using paraffin on 1985 Volvo 245?

Attach outlet tubes and inlet tubes in the pump and fix in a vice then apply a test flow by placing paraffin in the pump. Add water until paraffin flows are bubble-free; it should take less than 50 -10 strokes on the pump to deliver less than 50 -10cc of the paraffin. Confirm suction by inverting It and pressing the cam lever.
