As far as watching the delivery, I've got a glass filter on the '66 Plymouth and it's always only about a quarter full when the car's running --- and it always runs fine. Fuel just kinda dribbles in but apparently it keeps up with demand.
I had a glass one in there and could get a little fuel in there but not much. Maybe you are right and it isnt going to show much in the glass filter... I am going to take the carb apart tonight as well and make sure she isnt completely gummed up and not allowing fuel in and see if that is the problem...
