Actually, there is no element in the factory glass bowl filter. That's the way it came from the PO. Since there was the other filter upstream I figured that was okay as the cartridge filter would do all the filtering work and the glass bowl just looks nostalgic. I've always seen it full but haven't played much lately to see if the level falls at higher rpm's. The cartridge filter used to be about half full at idle and now it's practically empty.

I can't tell what kind of double action fuel pump it is as there is no obvious markings from the limited vantage points available. Might have to wait until I pull the engine to see it (which could be real soon without a working/reliable fuel pump.....)

As far as adding an electric fuel pump, are you suggesting something like this?http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4383534&jsn=4
