Once again, thanks, Howard.
FUEL PUMP: That top section was totally loose, and as soon as the pump tipped from loosening the mounting screws it fell off and hit the concrete garage floor. Probably that did it. It's also interesting that there appears to be a chunk actually missing.
Not one connection was loose, I can assure you of that. I will have to check where I bought it. It could have had a hairline crack to begin with that worked its way open. It's been in there for 9 years and it was removed and reinstalled with the engine rebuild in 2016/7.
DISTRIBUTOR: If anyone has replaced bushings for an Autolite IGT-4103 with parts from McMaster-Carr, could you point me there. Do I want a drill bushing? I will search Literature and Manuals for something Autolite in the meantime to find bushing specs.
KICK-DOWN SWITCH: I have to figure out what to change to get my passing gear working again since the previous (current) set-up blocks the accelerator from giving me full throttle. You have to click pic to get proper orientation. The screw and head is temporarily removed.
