Well now that is a gem of info right there too!
I guess my next stop in the parts store I am going to be looking at filter microns !!
Great info on the dual pumps too!
Though our Pontiacs tend to sit for a year or more at a time, I just took the lazy starts in stride.
Of course a little carb cleaner down the throat helps too !!
