I got that bolt tight Bill, I have heard of having a screw loose before!

VIC, I plan on having the electric pump as primary fuel delivery to carb. Going to by-pass the mechanical pump, I thought the fitting from pump to carb was leaking on old fuel pump, found that the diaphragm/gasket between half's of fuel pump is weeping gas. (screws are tight) Ordered a new firewall flex line and will have to connect flex line to line that used to go to carb. This will work until I have time to build a pass thru system.
Also went to O'Reilly's today and purchased a mechanical water temp gauge, I will install in the drivers side head radiator hose neck, it has a place to install a bulb. I would like to install one on the passenger side also but the hose neck does not have the fitting opening. ( anyone have a extra neck with fitting opening?) That way I could check the engine temp on both sides when I get to drive. Looks like an original electric water temp sending unit on the radiator, I am not using existing wiring until I get a chance to repair wiring.
