I should have some of the parts creeping in here soon...

Do I need/should I use any type of fuel filter between the separator and the carburetor? Will this separator be enough to strain the fuel and keep the carb from getting trash in it?

I also thought of why the 73+ style VS has the funky bracket as those years originally had the passenger side exit on the WP housing. I am guessing this would interfere with the placement of the VS right on the pump there. Luckily I switched to the driver's side WP housing on mine years ago to make it easier to find an aluminum radiator that would work.

If this doesn't fix this stalling issue, I think I am going to this car and collect insurance money!
