Check eBay for aluminum radiators.

If you disconnect the fuel line from the carb and crank it, does fuel squirt out and did you try putting a fuel pressure gauge on it?

Had this problem. Check your sending unit in the tank. Mine was blocked and worked fine after i cleaned it out.

While checking the sending unit replace all the rubber lines.. One may be cracked and the pump is just sucking air
