I am not a fan of rubber fuel lines. If there is any way to save the steel lines, or make new steel lines (the premade steel brake lines at the auto supply work well, bend easy even without a bender if you take your time and don't kink it). Rubber lines are a temporary fix, eventually they will rot, ethanol will take its toll on them, mice will chew them, and worse case, turn a small fire into an out-of-control situation!
Also not a fan of electric pumps. Unless you go to the trouble of wiring in the proper circuitry to prevent it running when the engine is not, they have potential to flood the carb. If you can find a new mechanical pump you will be ahead of the game.
Really don't need the sediment bowl using ethanol gas. But there should be a way to turn off the fuel, and there should be a screen standing inside the tank.
The fitting going into the carb should have a screen in it. It really needs that screen as the last line of defense to keep trash out of the needle valve. If the carb is damaged, might be a good time to rid yourself of that Holley carb, they are notoriously troublesome. A rebuilt Zenith or Marvel Schebler would be my choice if in the budget.
And NEVER EVER!!!! use a shop vac to clean out a gas tank! It WILL ignite the vapors in the vacuum and ... Well, you get the picture!

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
