Thanks, Peter.
What about the O-ring on the fuel pressure regulator in the side of the fuel
distributor?
My research shows that it can also be an issue, especially in cars where the
fuel system has been crudded up.

No EHA on this car. It predates them. Just barely.

Is there a ball in the regulator? If memory serves me correctly, I know there
is a plunger with an O-ring and some shims.
I just want to be prepared in the event that decide to pop it out to have a
look

I think they call it the master kit. It does Cis although I have not used it on

I always connected a CIS gauge in line with the warm up regulator. See the
work instruction here:

Long story short, this car was not as described. The paint was thrashed, for
one. There is no doubt in my mind that the fuel system was clogged up. The
engine would idle but not carry load.
You could press your foot to the floor and it might go to 3000 rpm, but shortly

Finally heard back from the owner. Here's what he tells me:
He got the car from the original owner. It had been parked for a couple of
years after being run out of fuel. Wouldn't start or run when he got it.
He replaced the fuel pump and filter and put fresh fuel in the tank. Fuel pump
Maybe the hose is all buggered and is collapsing when fuel is pumped
through it (here I am assuming the pump is sucking it from the tank) or

good place to start. How hard would it be to get a mity-vac on a fuel

One other thought -- a jug of gas with a hose in it, pump some fuel from
there? Here again I am assuming the fuel pump sucks the gas and is
somewhere near the engine.

Any rust? - as you know, that's your biggest enemy. Of course the
