Low fuel pressure?

Lol.  Well since I was last here I did indeed install a Holley 110 GPH mechanical pump.  It improved throttle response but did not indeed fix the problem, sorry for doubting you Turbocoupe50.  And I know I've said this everyday this month but I think I have it narrowed down.  I believe it's the automatic choke.  During the rebuild the manifold hose that was supplying it with heat snapped off the exhaust manifold and my uncle "fixed" it by jamming a smaller diameter slug into it and then giving it back to me to jam in the manifold.  It's sealed nicely but now less exhaust flow is going to the choke to tell it the car is warmed up.  Supposedly adjusting the choke could fix this but mine doesn't look like the type.  Actually mine looks like every dam choke in the manual :yuck: It's got the exhaust hose, a wire from the alternator, and a vacuum diagphram on it too.  The choke housing is riveted on.  Any tips about adjusting this thing?  Or is there a car with a fully electric choke that I can buy or scavenge?
