Don't remember if you changed or did anything to the fuel pump, but if not then the old rubber with new gas won't last long. Might save a lot of trouble to just order a new kit from then & nowhttp://www.maritimedragracing.com/antique_auto_parts_cellar.htm and do that while the carb is being done.

Might also be a good idea to replace that flex hose at front of engine from steel gas line to pump. I have had issues with that hose on a couple of cars. On one the lining became cracked and brittle. A piece managed to move enough that under suction, it would periodically swing into the flow and block the line.
