I tackled the job of checking the gas lines to see if they were bad on my 57
TR3.  Since it has been sitting with gas in the tank since 69, I was not
surpised to find the line between the tank and the middle of the car totally
plugged.  So I guess I need a new one of those.

The front half of the car is a little more complicated.  The line between
the middle of the card and the fuel tap (that is what moss says it is)
passes air from my compressor rather well. Should I still replace it?

And then the fuel tap itself doesn't let a whole lot of fuel through, but
I'm not sure if it should. I am not sure what it does at all.  It had
instructions on the fron that say to turn one way to lock an pull to open.
I couldn't do either, or turn the screw on the side.  Can someone enlightem
me?

thanks in advance
Jeremiah
