O.K off to the parts house to get an electric fuel pump.

Now for the biggie. I have got the car home but it seems to have forotten that it is a V-8 since it is running on only 6. The two middle cylinders on the psngr side are not firing. There is spark to the plugs, the plug are dry and brand new. All of the tricks have been done and from all of the people that I have talked to, outside of rebuilding the heads and doing the valves, the concensus is to try and run it at speed and see if the valves pump up and allow them to move as intended. The mechanic used a feeler gauge about the thinness of paper and could not get it thru the gap. Anybody got any other ideas.
