Thanks for all the advice. I would have sworn the tank was empty...... but after further inspection today perhaps the tank is full. The car has been sitting for awhile. I had taken off the fuel pump and used a electric fuel pump to pump out the old gas until the tank seemed empty. Then I put in a new mechanical fuel pump, 2 new fuel filters, and dumped 5 gallons of gas in. Then I'd pour a little more in from time to time. When it would seem like it would run out of gas I'd try to put some more in. Could only ever get a little in.
I will look into the venting or pickup issues (once I get new wheels ordered, since the tire shop cracked my rims balancing a tire). :mad: On a related note, anyone know where I can get some wide 15" rims?
