Update....
Got the fuel lines finished this morning, got everything buttoned up and test drove the driveway hill. Worked fine. Seemed to be able to accelerate with no problems and no stalling.
So, brought in back to the garage and finished putting my tools away. About an hour later, all set and headed out on the "real" test drive. Get to the driveway hill and, you guessed it, stalled out under mild acceleration. Got to the street after restarting and it stalled twice more. Mild acceleration. Varying choke did not seem to make any difference (cold outside), but it did make it possible to restart each time.
Stalled out twice more, this time downhill. Idled rough and managed to limp it back to the garage.
Walking away now, lest I be frustrated.
I have a glass bulb filter and see no junk in the gas. Brand new gas tank. New gas lines with zero kinks. The first time I started it with the modifications made to the fuel pump, it pressed gas through the empty lines and into the empty fuel filter in less than a second and started right up. So, that's something nice, at least.
Will replace the points and condenser tomorrow, if I have time amid family obligations.
Open to suggestions, as always.
Thanks,
Jim
