After getting a batch of extremely poor ignition points, we stopped buying from Mac's. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, they may also have been cheated by their supplier. Same was true of an order of hub grease seals. It is obvious something or things are wrong. My '47 sat in storage from last October until last week. I filled the carb with the electric standby pump, hit the accelerator a couple of times, and it took right off, thanks to the Optima battery. I suspect one or more components of your engine are not up to the job. Without someone actually on hand to properly diagnose the problem(s), it is likely all of this guesswork is just running you in circles.

All your going to get is a Chinezze made pump. Buy a quality rebuilt one from one of the barners that rebuild them. BTW a glass bowl pump is wrong for a 46. They came out in 47. ken ct.Top cover gaskets in rubber are N/G either.

As I see it you have 2 problems here .one is the Fuel pump needs going over ,check the push rod ,possible fit a primer. boat/electric ,and 2 check all your electrical connections to the coil .change the coil and get the distributor set up on a machine , Regarding the power valve on a Stromberg the valve sits down low in the fuel so you will not get leak down since it would need to travel up hill ,But you may get a richer mixture while running ,Not sure if this would apply to a Ford /Holly
