    Bought an all original 1956 olds 98 4 door Hoiday with a 324 rocket motor. Trying to get it running now. Installing the original fuel pump I just changed the diaphrams on.. having trouble, of course.. fairly new at the old car game, so I am learning.. I will take some pics today and post 'em for ya guys. I am a self employed woman who needs a bit of a distraction and this is the perfect relief! So having fun figuring out this puzzle..:D

    Thanks so much for the welcome.. I'd Love to go to the car show with my 56, but not sure it would make it there.. I'm posting pics today.. I got the fuel pump and the lines installed.. and it works! My problem is the idle.. but found a long screw near the carb that was sticking..unstuck it and it idled much better.. then stuck again.. gonna take it apart and see if that's tghe problem. As far as I know, there are no vacuum leaks.
