I have to prime carburetor after sitting. Fuel bowl won’t fill up from fuel pump

its a plastic compound spacer 1/2 -3/4 inch that stops heat transfer from the intake to the carb - you could have googled it? run your car good, let it sit and take the carb bowl covers off - gas inside? should be some in it....

Somebody will have to do some testing on it. Somebody will have to see how hard it is to pull fuel through the fuel line from the gas tank. If it is hard to pull fuel from the gas tank then it probably isn't the fuel pump. If fuel flows easily, then somebody should test the fuel pressure to determine how close to spec it is.
