thanks to all those who helped me with my starting problem earlier this 
month!  i have since traced the problem to fuel delivery and not electrical.  
so, the car runs, but only from my lawnmower gas can.  if i disconnect the 
fuel line from just below the fuel filter (which i replaced by the way), and 
but the tubing in the can, the fuel pump primes and pulls gas, and starts 
just fine.  once i reconnect to the gas tank, the car burns what was left in 
the carbs and then dies.  it wont pull from the tank.  so im guessing there 
is something wrong witht the line.  i did try to put a bike pump (i wish i 
had a compressor) on the line and blow reverse towards the tank, but i dont 
know if it bled out through an undiscovered break before it got to the tank, 
its a 2 person job.any ideas on where to begin?  am i going to have to 
replace all the fuel lines?  anything will help!

thanks, justin
