With respect, I'd go back to the Stromberg
CD-150's:  they are a most elegant piece of work and bullet-proof.

I mounted an electric fuel pump on the outside of
the battery box on my Series V.  I had to clean
the screen in it every year or so as my gas tanks
were flaking paint.  If I'd have kept the car,
I'd have pulled the tanks and cleaned and repainted them.
