Thanks, HH56 for the help with the pump problem. I'll pass your thoughts along to the kid working for my mechanic on the car as he is young enough that the car could be his Grandfather.
Really interesting about the fuel bowl by the carb. It does appear to have a ceramic filter in there and I know I would have branded it OK if I could get air though it.
The electric is back by the tank and is supposed to be a "helper" for the mechanical one. We did briefly talk about rebuilding it as the vacuum side will be needed for the wipers. I will contact the seller to see if he had the tank cleaned. If not, that will certainly be moved up the list.
Thank you again,

Jim
