Smitty says: Time rolled around to run through the dwell and timing on
Spike and while I was checking things out I caught a glimpse of something
moving so I watched a little closer. Then I saw a tiny speck jump out of
the breather hole on top of my fuel pump. AHHA, upper diaphragm was
failing. After I verified that it was indeed gasoline coming from the
hole I changed the pump. Darned old mechanical pump that was on the car
when I dug it out of the bean field over two years ago. Sure glad it
wasn't one of those electric contraptions leaking unnoticed down under
the car someplace. And I owe it all to not having a Petronix. Life is
good.
