Re: 1947 convertible
some times the rubber line between the fuel pump and the steel line to the tank can get rotten inside and look good on the outside. even new ones if they are not of a decent quality and immune to alcohol. rubber falls apart, and/or it can collapse when the pump is trying to suck gas. take the line off at the carb and crank the motor over with ignition off and pump a bunch of gas into a quart jar so you can see what you got and how good it pumps

Re: 1947 convertible
Good idea re Skip. I emailed him so will see what he says.
It did have a modern coil on the car when I got it so for appearance I replaced with a Skip rebuild. Maybe that one had a ballast resistor in it. I have also heard of a special type of ignition to coil wire using a special metal that acted as a ballast resistor. But hard to believe someone would make a repro loom for a '47 with that in it. |

Re: 1947 convertible
Great idea about that fabric coated rubber gas line section. I will try that.
