>> So we are in the Texaco parking lot fixing Bryans square, with my fasty parked next to it. A couple of ladies pulled up and said "cool wheels". No big deal right? Except for the meticulous 60 something bright red Jag sitting at the gas pump by us being ignored. See, I told the wife that Type 3's were cooler than Jags, but she insisted that I was wrong... >> It's true! I know the T3's are cool... but I was still amazed with that shiny red Jag 20 ft away! Turns out the whole problem with the car was still that fuel filter. Looks like although I got the tank "clean" some of the surface rust is just clinging on. The gasoline is gently cleaning it off, and away the rust mud goes the fuel filter. I'll have to find a used tank to overhaul and seal correctly. We also found that the voltage regulator was nearing trouble, and I'm sure the lower voltage was not helping the pump pushing through the sludge. Anyway, it's on the road and has a spare filter in the front until the tank gets done again! Thanks for all of the advice on what to look for, and a great big thanks to Robb for coming out to help me getting rolling again (without the guy pushing behind it).
