Have corrected my incorrectly wired coil problem and now have a good spark at
the distributor. However, another problem has surfaced that I've never had to
the degree it is. Namely, a fuel problem. I don't start my coupe often enough
and, invariably when I do I experience the normal fuel line bleed down problem
as most of us do with our V8's. So What I usually do to rectify the problem is
temporarily remove the fuel pump and work it by had to bring the gas forward
in the line to the engine. As a rule after I've done this and reinstall the pump
she'll fire right up for me. This time it's a no go. It's like the cam lobe is worn
down to nothing which isn't possible as this is a completely rebuilt engine with
very little mileage on it. I've tried two different pumps both of which have been
rebuilt no no avail. Yesterday I temporarily pulled my carb and took it apart. The
bowl was as dry as an old bone. The only thing I can think of that could be
creating this weird problem is too much wear on the pump arms which means
the diaphragms aren't being activated enough? What else might it be?
