Now that made me smile. It takes a different kind of person to own an old Holden. Many people would baulk at a 900km drive. Then there are those comfortable enough to take a 75 year old vehicle, black with 4-and-80 air, some form of engine complaint (and no cupholders

) and make the journey. Kids think I'm crazy doing similar with the FB and wagon.

I'm not out of the woods yet regarding fuel system troubles. The car misbehaves less with a full tank. Still, when the engine's hot, a lot of bubbles come with the fuel into the pump.
Bubbles.... hmmm...
a) you proved the inlet piping from tank to pump is tight.
b) if the shotglass gasket was leaking, it would reek of fuel.
c) could it be a small leak into the sump, flashed off with the longer drives that this machine does through the road draught tube?
d) could it be volatilisation... any exhaust lines near fuel lines (never played under a humpy, so unsure of routing)?
