Well after all that, the flow still did not improve. Took of the gas line again and this time took off the shut off. WOW>...NO flow at all, seems i pre-judged and was 
ive Bombing" for corrections. bad move and lesson learned. Seems an OLD CORK Float has come apart and was blocking everything.. we had to drain the tank and get that cork out, NO easy task at all. Ken Ehrenhofer was the master behind the "clinic" and after running water and air for almost 2 hours we got what we think was all of it.. NOT to mention the REPO gas cap that i bought was also NOT venting properly and when on tight restricted the flow another 20%, so with all that we were getting drippings of gas. Put on an original, cleaned the tank and drained again, finally filled and back together and that 14 year old flow was THERE!! We can write our name in the snow!!!
Thanks to all who assisted with advice and Ken Ehrenhofer for his intelligence and "LOGICAL" troubleshooting that got this fixed, it is running nice now and with the timing re-set seems all is good to go..

Well, Mark, it looks like now you will be driving to French lick???
As I mentioned in a previous post, both of my late '31s had a ton of stuff in that horizontal pipe to the valve restricting flow. My crud wasn't cork, though. Was the cork junk all saturated and sunk or did some of it still float? If you think about it, that horizontal pipe is like a sediment bowl before the valve that has been collecting unnoticed for 79 years. Kudos to Ken Ehrenhofer for getting it cleaned out. Ken has one awesome "A" garage, and wife Helen who does an awesome job as editor of the M.A.R.C. Model A News.
