John,
The new fuel line that can withstand the Ethanal was developed about 6
years ago, so you need to rehose ALL the supply and vent hoses. By piece
mealing the hoses cannot work as we would never re do it later.
Also the selector valve and the fuel pumpwill ned to be replaced as the
rubber in them are deteriated.
Also a aux. fuel pump and a large filter needs to be put in the system and
replace the small filter at the neck of the Carberator.
I can see you do not participate at events like GMC MI convention and other
events where we host siminars to kep people up yo date.
