Thanks Ross!

Last night I pulled the fuel filter out and replaced it with a length of flex fuel line. The old fuel hose that was connecting the filter to the steel line was very stiff and brittle. Glad I replaced it. I'll probably replace the other rubber sections as well when I get more line.

I tightened all the connections and put some fuel safe thread sealant on the connection to the suction side of the pump. The pump really seems to pull now. A quick test seemed to be fine, but I'll do to test more once I get the front wheels back together and on the car.

Currently I'm running no filter, which I don't love, but I'm not sure where I should put one now.
