Haven't done much to the car in the past few weeks. It broke down on Wednesday and I thought the mechanical pump had failed. Turned out to be stuck needle valves in the carb float bowl lids. The car doesn't have a fuel filter anywhere in the system and I'm guessing this is a bad thing. Anyway, bought some fuel line and fuel hose and I'll change the lines in the engine bay, cut the rear fuel line under the subframe and fit a fuel filter there. I don't suppose there is a need to fit a second one under the bonnet between the pump and the carbs?
I also, finally sorted out the annoying knocking sound from the rear. I had changed the passenger side shock a few weeks back and I decided to change the driver side one too and did that yesterday evening. Turns out both lower rubber bushes were worn and that was causing the annoying knocking sound. It's nice that it's gone now.
