Original owner's solution to fuel issue

[JT912]

This car was originally owned by a machinist that worked for Rocketdyne. The surviving daughter did not know why the car was parked in '87 but some of the odd things I've uncovered would point to a oil leak issue or some type of fuel problem. While I am waiting on some case work, I am wrapping up the the new brake lines which let me get a closer look at the original owner's "creative" solution to some type of fuel problem: dual fuel pumps. He fabricated brackets which were fastened to the trailing arm mount on the torsion tube. Each side then got a fuel pump. There was one fuel regulator on the driver's side carb but nothing on the passenger. Seems like a vapor lock problem would have just required moving a single pump and not creating this set up. I am taking it back to the original setup. Somewhere I have pictures of the aluminum pie plates that were attached to the top of the heat exchangers and the drip catch pans that he fabricated to catch oil from the upper rocker covers.
