Dave, re the mechanical pump, I will eventually get one, but right now, I am only interested in trying to deliver fuel from tank to carb and the electric pump should be able to do that. A rebuilt pump is around $300 CDN and is a couple of weeks away via Kanters or M.M., etc., so I am trying to work with what I have and at least get the thing so I can drive it on the highway and not have it quit.

The Carter WA-1 carb does not have a glass bowl - a few people are mentioning that; the only 'visual' I have on the fuel is a see-through inline gas filter and if it is running out of fuel then I definitely have a problem!!! I will get back to the car on Monday and perform some more tests and see if we can't come to a solution. I'll report my findings.

Thanks again for all the feedback.
