Worked on the car some more today. Got it to fire, but still couldn't get it to run. The tank has a lot of varnish, and since the car is still on the trailer, so I didn't want to work on draining it. I put a rubber line and in-line filter from the fuel pump inlet side into a gas can.
It fired, but wouldn't stay running. I discovered that the carb isn't factory (Rochester off of a GM) so I'll be looking for one of those. The carb is leaking all over. It started and ran a month ago, but I haven't been able to get it going since then. I think the new gas (10% ethanol) ate all the rubber out of the carb. Rather than rebuild an incorrect carb, I think I'll be looking for the right carb and working on other things in the meantime. So it goes...
