Finally got the sump pump installed. Hardest part was digging the hole which was 22" of mostly rock with a little clay mixed in. No more leaky basement!

Since you've got an open outlet you should consider putting a dehumidifier next to it with a drain that empties into the sump.

Seconding the dehumidifier suggestion. One rated for basement/crawlspace, not the consumer grade crap at the big box stores.
