Thanks all! Great information!! Your efforts to welcome me and help answer initial questions are MUCH appreciated!

In fact, I did Google 'Fatman' steering wheels and I have a strong feeling that that was what the video (on West Coast Classic Cars) showed on a '30 coupe. The salesman made no reference to that particular feature but it could clearly be seen. The salesman DID make reference to an electric fuel pump (car had an ugly toggle switch prominently mounted on the dash to the left of the steering wheel.)

Wouldn't an electric fuel pump cause too much pressure to the carburetor, or is that something used just for starting a stubborn engine?
