Thanks for the help fellows. I had the gear on the choke set wrong and it fired right up. The electric fuel pump was on the car when I bought it and has never let me down. I use to drive this car a thousand mile a year but I now have a lot of antique tractors that I take to shows and tractor pulls. My old moline has brought home over eighty trophys. I also have a 64 bird convert. and a model A & T. Ford. Thanks for the help. Jerry

I have a dodge touring that I have owned for 45 years and one would think that you would get to know your car in that length of time. I haven't run it much in the last few years and earlier this spring it had a valve hang up and I used mystery oil on it and it freed up. I ran it the other day and it ran terrable so I removed the carb. with the intention of cleaning it. The carb. is about as primitave as they come but the car will not run at all now. I know that I didn't lose any parts as I dismatled it on a news paper. I have an electric fuel pump on it and it fills the bowl but none of the gas gets sucked into the engine. I think that the lower choke portion is assembled right as it raises and lowers the plunger. Anyone have any ideas that might help me. As a side line I ran a compression check and it is very low as between 45 and 50 lbs. with oil on the pistons. I am getting spark.
