Edelbrock Fuel Pump and Carburetor

-
Hello again! I found the culprit. I went all the way through the fuel line, and at the end there was a 3 inch rubber hose. Apparently the inner wall of the hose had come a loose and was working its way toward the fuel pump. It looked like an old piece of electrical tape. I could not believe it. Well at any rate, replaced the fuel line with at a brand new one. Pump and carb are working well.
good work. got to be a huge difference. thanks for the resolution. oftentimes we never get that.
 
Update!!! The culprit was the fuel line, however as I went further, I removed the tank and discovered that the tank had major rust inside, and the sock at the end of the fuel sender had disintegrated, therefore allowing loads and loads of rust into the line.

I've since replaced my fuel tank with a brand new one, and a brand new fuel sender and runs like a charm.
BUT then I ran into some other issues, which I have been fixing but they were interesting fails!! First was the ignition switch went bad on me, which I replaced, but while I was replacing it, I accidently left the power connected, touched the rear of the amp meter on the metal dash piece and fried my fusable link (scared me!). Replaced the fusable link. I then hit the ignition switch and all I could hear was the starter spinning!! Turns out that the starter was engaging the flywheel, and the shaft was turning, but the gearhead was not turning. Incredible!! Needless to say I will be picking up a new starter this weekend!!
