Hey guys, new here. starting to work again on my 73 so maybe i can get her back on the road next year. ran into a few issues, and found your site from googling info on it, so i figured id register.
first the story, fuel pump wasnt working, replaced it, still nothing, turned out to be a new DOA pump, car would start, for a second, with fuel in the carb. once i got that situated, the carb started pumping fuel out the top. pulled to float bowl, cleaned it out, and it seems to be ok.
now the problem. sometime during the numerous time i cranked the car over and over working on the pump, the interior lights(courtesy) stopped working. at around the same time, im guessing, the car stopped trying to start. it will crank and seems to want to start, but never gets there. can these 2 things be related?
wanted to add, all exterior lights work(as well as they did before!) i have a wiring diagram but it is a little blurry and hard to read, and i havent found where these would be related from the diagram. also, i didnt see any blown fuses, unless there is another fuse box than the one under the drivers side dash.
