I have a 1993 S10 V6 and have to replace the fuel tank. Since the truck has 125,000 miles on it and is my restoration vehicle, Should I go ahead and replace the fuel pump and the unit above it since I have the truck bed off. Fuel pump parts are over $200, but if they should be replaced I will happily do it.

Why do you think that the engine spinning over and over is a symptom of the timing being wrong? It isn't unless the engine never starts or kicks back while cranking it with the starter. Check your fuel pressure when this all happens. It sounds like the electric fuel pump inside the fuel tank is failing, they last about 100,000-125,000 miles on average.
It sounds like a bad fuel sending unit to me. You will probably also have fault codes stored in your engine computer or your instrument panel module for irrational fuel level data. Not only do you not know haow much gas is in your tank, but the computer needs this information also to control certain engine parameters and emission controls.
The sending unit is located inside the fuel tank. You may want to check around to see if anyone has just the sending unit itself instead of replacing the entire fuel pump module.
You may also want to go ahead and just replace the entire module anyway, depending on how many miles are on your vehicle. If you have 100,000 miles or more, it would be wise to just replace the whole thing to prevent having to pay the labor over again in a few thousand miles.
The fuel pump for your Voyager is in the fuel tank. Specifically it is bolted into the top of the tank towards the back of the vehicle. Sometimes you can turn the vehicle on and tap on the pump. This might get it to build enough pressure for a few more miles ( hopefully enough to get you home.).
Air is colder or more dense needs more fuel to make mixture correct. Is the exhaust tight. I know v6 had donut seal problems. would **** air in and 3rd o2 sensor would read lean and ecm adds more fuel. Just a thought
If your vehicle is fuel injected, new fuel filter gaskets (which should be included along with a new filter) are necessary for this procedure.
The fuel filter is designed to prevent gasoline-borne contaminants from entering the engine through the carburetor or fuel injector(s). It is important to replace the fuel filter with a new one every 30,000 miles (50,000 km) or 30 months (whichever occurs first). The fuel filter is located in front of the fuel tank on the right-hand underside of the vehicle's chassis on carbureted models.
My first guess would be a dirty carb/fuel injector set. Run some fuel cleaner through the tank and see if it gets better. You might have to do it through a couple of tanksful. How long since you've had a tune-up? It might just be that time.
