You might want to make sure the tank is vented allowing the fuel to flow freely to the pump.
Well i do have a ventilator tube that comes up from the filler tube. This is a '59 El Camino...not sure if there should be any other ventilation on the tank?
Thanks for all the other tips. Electric pump is an option but i'd like to isolate the probelem otherwise i'm just masking another issue.
I noticed that the carb wasn't bolted as tightly as it could have been to the manifold so i've tightened it up and checked the vacuum lines. Also I took the water heat setup off my intake as I only put it on there for my Holly/Webber that I took off because i wasnt happy with it. I never had heat on the manifold before and i didn't seem to have any problems with my 1bbl Rochester.
I'll test drive tonight and see if that did anything.
