I assume you used your test light to go from the POS battery to the alt brown wire? You need the bulb to light in the test light to take the place of the dash board charging light. Take the alt off and have it tested at one of your large auto store like big moose auto center
Use a old ice-pick style test light. Start the car, clip the alligator clip to pos + battery and punch/prick the test light into the brown wire at the alt plug. That will bypass all the wiring going to the dashboard. If it don't charge then alt may be bad and if charges check the wires going to dash. Also make sure the red hot terminal has voltage the goes to the starter. It's been awhile but I think there's a fusible link near the starter.
I remember maybe 1970 my parents getting my two younger brothers a Magnavox pong game console for the only TV in the house. That was WW3 after a few weeks, back in the box sent to the basement.
My advice is to screenshot the pages you want and save on your PC or phone. Once the board is shutdown the links you save will come up as a error. Another option is try a free program called http://web.archive.org/ It's hit and miss but covers the history of any website.
This may help for that or future problems. I dont remember glass fuses on anything under the hood from the factory. I would say its a add-on to trigger a relay or single circuit since the wire gauge is so small
Electrolysis works ok for very mild surface rust. But after if not treated it will rust even more and faster. Used to use a product called Kreem coat on motorcycle tanks. Its a 3 part system that lines the tank and works great. Not sure how cost effective it is on a 18 gal tank since it's costs about $40 to treat a 5gal tank. New Buick tanks are around $125. The Walbro pumps you mentioned are all about the same rating. Only difference it the inlet how the sock sets up. All are good for around 500hp. Not sure what the new flavors are these days since Walbro are old school but work great.
I had a 8 track tape suitcase that had (I think) 30 tapes in it. I loaned it to a friend going on a road trip to use in his new 1970 W30 442 with a factory 8 track. He never made it out of NY and got rear ended by a oil truck. Totaled the car and my tapes in the trunk. Lucky for him he walked away without a scratch.
John's Performance sold a lot of cool stuff. I got a few stainless flexible turbo oil return lines from them. He used to be in Oregon or Wash. State. Any place that sells truck parts or good speed shop can make them up if you show them the ends you need.
