I'm with you! Thanks for the sound advise. So, having gone through all of
the steps I have taken so far (in previous response to your response),
where should I go from here? Replace the old mechanical pump? Or I guess
if I really should be receiving a large, steady flow out of the hose this
is the real problem, but I am genuinely at a loss for where the blockage
could be, or why I would receive a good rush of gas from the metal line,
and not once the hose is brought up to engine level.

I just realized something though, I have 155s in front, and have the car
lowered slightly up front. Might this keep the flow from being steady at
the pump? Once again though, this was not a problem for the past 18 years
in this configuration, so I can't see why it would matter now.

THANKS!!

Dave
