The comedy is golden

I know some newer brake lines use a bubble flare. Though I don't know if that will work for you but you can get that tool all over the place.

Welcome

Somewhere on this site I have a thread going that lists almost all the seals and gaskets needed unfortunately I'm on my mobile device so I can't really do a search for it right now

Fit? As in bolt up to your block? Most likely, bolt up to your existing exhaust pipe? I dunno.

Poof, he appears, lol. Yeah, the squeaky wheel and all that. I mean no one complaints if all is well, right? Heck, I've complained once or twice, here, about something and it turns out I was wrong, lol. Like the aftermarket new /6 distributor I thought wouldn't work for the swap, turns out someone else here had the same setup and looked closer at it and found out it would. So I forged ahead and he was right.

When I bought the car I had no history on it's servicing and what I saw of some of the work I did not care for. So I went thru everything. Here's my write up on the choke adjustment. Not too tricky, http://www.yourolddad.com/choke

Interesting, one of the first things I did when I got my Cambridge was to adjust the automatic choke. When I started I pump it once and hold the throttle about a third of the way open and crank it over and she fires right up.

Lol, I like your thinking. And your thinking got me to thinking (oh no). I ran into an issue with my gas cap venting sometime back, it didn't vent. Neither pressure nor vacuum. So I bought a new one and it didn't either. The original cap vented to atmosphere via some holes. The new cap(s), had some sort of emissions doohickey that used springs and check valves. Whatever, i could hear my gas tank oil can when it heated up. I ended up lobotomizing the new cap and now it vents. I wonder if this is playing into those of us with the issue? The tank builds pressure and forces gas into the carb?

I suppose it's possible, though I have never heard this theory before? My fuel lines are routed way away from the exhaust manifold.

Hmm, I live in west Texas, 100+ degree days are the norm. I run whatever gas Shell has, no effort to use ethanol free gas. Stock fuel system, from tank to carb. Nothing added to it in the way of heat shielding, or anything that wasn't on the car when the factory rolled it out the door. My exhaust flapper works properly. I have never had this problem. So, either Shell isn't selling gas with ethanol in it (doubtful) of it's not "hereditary". In fact, I believe it's more a confirmation bias than a wide spread issue. You hear from people that have this issue, you do not hear from people that do not. So the impression is that this is a widespread issue.

The Freewheeling Tony Smith has a pretty good go thru on oil pumps and their issues on facebook. Someone put together a post on it here.

Now if you had a limited slip differential that theoretically wouldn't happen. Until you exceeded the slip torque value and then it would. But in your case since you haven't opened differential that's exactly what happens when both tires are in the air.

What's the issue with the oil pump?

Curious if they send you the correct sender.
