New fuel filter and all lines were replaced a few weeks ago.
New fuel pump was installed a few weeks ago, not sure about the pressure regulator. Will ask.
The spacer. That was not addressed but will ask.....

Also replaced the module and coil 2 rounds ago. (1 month )
Also did this, route a single steel braided or heavy duty rubber rose fuel-rated hose from the back of the carb. straight to the electric fuel pump or hose connection junction going the the pump. Eliminate the Holley fuel regulator.

Much appreciated.....

QUESTION: I had someone rebuild the alternator and his work was a bit sketchy at times. Could that be the culprit?

Electrical connections to the pump, ground to the pump, the pump itself, all suspect.

Did you run the fuel line, or did your mechanic? Perhaps fuel line to close to starter, exhaust manifold or exhaust, creating vapor issues and air bubbles that can explain the no fuel in carb issues until everything cools down.

You removed the fuel pressure regulator? Need to add a new one just after the fuel pump.

Need to add a fuel filter just before the fuel pump under the car.

Ok, fuel tank not vented, somewhere on the tank should be a vent of some type, this may be clogged (bugs, ants, bees love to build small nests inside the vent tubes), need to have this checked by your mechanic.

Don't over think things, sometimes it is the simplest of items that cause the biggest headaches.
