Thanks, I tried tracing the only line coming off the carburator. It goes over to the passenger side of the engine, down the engine block, and back somewhere. Need to get under there to get a better idea of where it is going. That might lead me to the electric fuel pump. eta: In fact, in that...

Sorry, it takes me awhile to upload photos to my imgur account. I've tried several times to get them to upload from there but it just doesn't want to work.

Here's pictures of the cover plate over what I think is the fuel pump spot. Also pics of the distributor. I don't have a frame of reference, so I don't know if that distributor is stock or not.

I'll take some better pictures of the distributor so maybe ya'll will know what it is.

Thanks, but I haven't been able to find that either. I tried autozone, oreilleys, advance, carquest, napa, and rock auto. Search terms and parts number searches for "6510" "AC6510" "AC 6510" "6510 fuel pump" Looking at some threads online at places like IFSJA, it looks like some people were...

Yeah, I think there's an aftermarket MC on the firewall behind the carb. With a wire latch on the cover. Individual wheel cylinders I'll take off and see if they can't be rehoned and rebuilt with new springs and rubber.

Trust me, I am not a hot-rodder. I believe in making vehicles last as long as they can. Dang, I'm having a hard time finding a fuel pump. Only ones I've found in stock are at some milsurp places, and they want 225. And the original for core. I know alot of people are going to cringe, but I...

Dang. I wonder if at this point I shouldn't just go ahead and re-engine the vehicle. I haven't priced Tornado 230 parts, but I'll bet they aren't cheap.

Error: Remote file is too large. Not that this has anything to do with the M715, but why is this an issue? The only thing I could find in that novel-length list of rules about photos and linking was not to link to auction site photos.

The size limit on uploaded pictures is too small.

Thanks for the help Mark. I do like the hunting platform, but I'm not going to keep it.

Are you not entertained?

Cool, I've still got the engine, transmission, and transfer case from a deuce I parted out ages ago. This is the reward for being a pack rat. Eventually, everything becomes useful. If only you can find it in the piles of junk.

Why change over to a 12V system?

Ah, good info. I've never owned a vehicle with old school otto engine tech. My first car was a 95? aerostar hand-me-down.

What is the water-proofing issue with regard to the vacuum line?

Yep, I've met Barrman and his kid at several shows. Will have to pick his brain for sure. Don't think I've met Kwai. Nice truck 67beast. Mkcoen is going to help me pick it up next Tuesday so I'll have some detailed pics then.

So if the mechanical fuel pump is bad, this might actually be a vehicle that would benefit from an electric fuel pump? Something that pushed the fuel to the carb at a little higher pressure to mitigate the vapor lock problem?

Not on me. They're on my friend's phone and he's kind of tech-challenged. Might get them tomorrow if his wife has a moment to email them to me. The upholstery in the cab is toast. No top, so it's probably been rained on and baked for the past 20 years.
