- I installed my newly rebuilt 3 port fuel pump today. This was rebuilt by a man named Tony Bolin out of Florida. He did a nice job! The installation was fairly simple but unfortunately I have a persistent fuel leak at the carburetor inlet where I had my mechanic drill out the driver's side. He didn't quite get the threads right and it's stripping out. So, have had to resort to using JB Weld to seal it up permanently. I'll find out tomorrow if that worked or not. But that fuel pump looks beautiful!

Good video again. Sorry for the carburetor problems, you will get it! As you say “Unexpected challenges”
Yup - and now the problem is solved. Next video...
New engine components look terrific...congratulations. Perhaps you've explained, but beyond comfort, why barefoot?
Thanks! I don't mind explaining at all. It's become part of my identity to always be barefoot. It's something I love - yes it's very comfortable but I also believe that it's very healthy. I also think it is environmentally friendly since I'm not contributing footwear to landfills. It also saves me a lot of money. I love feeling that direct connection with any surface that I am on. It's so ingrained that it feels awful to put anything on my feet on those very rare occasions when I do. I could go on, but you get the idea...
It's a shame about the threads in the carb. Now you're kind of stuck relying on JB weld or plumber's tape from this point forward. Pains me to see how much work you have put into this lovely car, and to have a stupid thing like this set you back.
Yes, there have definitely been plenty of setbacks and 2 step forward 1 step back kinds of things. But it's all good. I just keep plugging along. I am thankful there is something like JB Weld though! That's the third time I've used it for something on this engine. The other two were the power steering pump nipple and the loop I connected to the replacement carburetor accelerator linkage for the cruise control. I'm just glad I have the knowledge and skills to do this myself. Otherwise, it would be prohibitively expensive!
