Gentleman, thank you for the advise on the pump. Looking at the Then and Now website, I've decided I'll take my fuel pump off and get the number on the flange before I call them up. I should be able to get to that tomorrow.

Jim, thank you for that method of cleaning the lines out. I should have specified, but the car was sitting for at least 10 years (always garaged or in a storage building, however). There wasn't any gas in it when I started working on it.

I'm glad to know acetone will dissolve the varnish and clear out the lines. I've tried to blow 100psi through it, and I get nothing at this point, so they're pretty clogged. I have a question, though. Did you try pouring the acetone into the tank and letting it sit? Would that be feasible? Would it somehow damage the inside of the tank? Any other downside I don't know about?
