Put a "T" in the fuel line at the carbs and check your pressure. It is
supposed to be about 3 psi. The fuel filter gasket not sealing can give you
fits.
Don't over tighten it. The metal will warp and it will never seal. If the
gasket is bad replace it. You can also replace one of the fuel lines to the
carb
with clear tubing and see if you are getting air in the line. Air would have
to come from a leak before the fuel pump.

I'm new to the list (well, belonged to it a few years ago) and I need some
help. I've got a 66 SPL that has a fuel problem. both SU carbs have been
rebuild, the mechanical pump has been replaced, I've got a new fuel filter
and
my tank, replaced the seal on the gas cap and lines appear to be clean,
however, I'm don't seem to be getting a good supply of fuel to the carbs.
I'm
also having an issue with vapor lock for the first time since I've owned the
car.
the car will drive fine for a while then just stall out from lack of fuel or
will vapor lock when I shut off the engine. As you can see above, I've gone
over everything in the fuel system I can think of with no luck. This all
started after doing two projects on the engine. Replacing the distributor
and
rebuilding the carbs.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
