Hello,
Thanks for all the helpful input on the fuel pump situation.
I've done the cut/paste to WORD and will use the answers as
a sort of checklist. When I bought the carbie kit from Dick Baker
and replaced it, I noticed a "reddish-material" in the bottom of
the fuel bowels. I cleaned it out and life was good again. It
does sound like it maybe sludge....I looked and found no fuel
filter....maybe its time to goto AutoZone and pick up a generic
one? I may want to replace the pump-stuff to make sure the
entire system is clean.
Thank you for all the input.
Now....I've found a 1970 Rover 3500. Its a big, <ugly> car with
4doors and a V8. Its sitting at a Midas shop with a new exhaust
system. The owner of the shop says its a relative's and would be
willing to part with it for $1500-$2000. The car hasn't been strated
in 8 months, but "hauled real quick" when it was running. The car
is in fair-good shape, no rust (Aluminum?), and has a dry trunk.
I'll pass along a phone number of the shop if anyone wants to
talk directly to him.
Take care.
- Tony
