some background info:
slant 6, carter bbd carb
recently changed fuel pump (diaphragm was broken on old unit and leaking fuel into the motor). changed out flex line between hard line and pump. also changed the oil (it was thinned out with fuel).
recently cleaned carb, and when putting back the top half accidentally pinched the accelerator pump neoprene cup. because of that, stalls when pedal is floored, but was running fine at idle, normal speed, etc.
yesterday i was driving it on the freeway, and it was running fine, suddenly the power cut out. it did that 3 times, traveled about 500 ft. the fuel filter would fill up with gas, and the car would run for a little while. but then the fuel would visibly drain out of the filter, and the motor would shut off.
checked the fuel pump (and the new flex line) for leaks... none. could it be leaking out the back, near the tank?
