Not knowing engines that old I can only offer suggestions: 1. Crack (loosen the hose fittings) progressively on the fuel system while trying to start it. This will operate the fuel pump and air should shoot out of your cracked fitting until just fuel comes out. Dont burn out the starter. 2. Even the oldest fuel filter mounts I've seen (65's as far back as I've gone) have a plug of some sort somewhere. Now all you need is a pressure vessel with appropriate hoses and fittings such that you can force fuel without air into the fuel system. This is all im saying on that one. 3. Cummins fuel filter assemblies come with a hand operated pump... if your up for it refit a cummins type filter assembly and start pumpin.

Diesel Engine Specialists Help Make Cars Run?
A diesel engine is preferred by some over a gasoline engine because a diesel engine is much more efficient; a diesel engine burns about twenty-five percent less fuel than a gasoline engine and more of the fuel is actually converted to mechanical energy. Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine in 1892 after learning that gasoline-powered internal combustion engines were not very efficient. Diesel engines have continued to evolve over the years until today they stand poised to make a comeback, thanks to advances in diesel technology. The diesel engine has been used in semi-trailer trucks for decades, and in passenger cars starting in the 1980s. Diesel engines have become more and more common, and the demand for diesel engine specialists has consequently grown. Diesel service technicians and mechanics repair and maintain the diesel engines that power trucks, cars and other vehicles. The profession is changing rapidly due to the changing nature of diesel engines. For example, electronics and computer technology are now used in diesel engines to make the engine run more efficiently. Versatility is becoming a valued quality. Diesel engine specialists have to be well-versed with using computers to diagnose and monitor engine problems and qualities. One day the technician may be repairing an electronics system, the next they may be performing heavy engine maintenance, such as installing a new component part. Add to the above the increasing complexity of diesel engines and the fact that new emissions standards may require the installation of newer components on older systems and taking care of a diesel engine becomes a huge job. Diesel engine specialists stand a chance of finding a job at a higher-end shop if they have professional training from a technical or vocational school. The salary for a diesel engine specialist varies from thirty-four to fifty-thousand per year. Diesel engine specialists use a large variety of tools and usually work in lighted and ventilated areas. Some jobs require them to be on-site, which can place them on the shoulders of highways and in the garages of residential neighborhoods. Diesel engine specialists are expected to experience slightly raised demand as diesel engines increase in complexity and repair needs.
