There's a few things that can go wrong. As the car needs choke to run, it seems to be running too lean, but it could also be poor ignition. Don't touch the distributor yet as the car should be able to run without the vacuum advance working (it's an economy device). Check for vacuum leaks first. You have inspected the vacuum to the distrubutor, that's good. There are two hoses connected to the manifold: Ensure that there are no leaks there. One goes to the brake servo, the other to the popup headlight mechanism. Inspect and replace any worn hoses. Check ignition (not the distributor yet): Check all spark plugs. Check the leads with an ohm-meter (should show between 1kOhm and 3kOhm AFAIR depending on length). Check the distributor cap and rotor. The cap should be without signs of sparks on the terminals, and the same goes for the rotor. Replace both if you are in doubth. Then remove the carburettor, take it apart and clean it. This car has been standing for a long time, right? Petrol can form a greasy substance over years which will block the small passages in the carb. Take a look at my page http://dinsen.net/murena/carburettor/ for inspiration. Replace main gasket and o-ring, and needle valve. Adjust float height. Your photo just shows the connections to the carb, it shows nothign about how it looks inside! You have a new fuel pump, but the pump is probably the least critical component in this system. The carb must be perfect, though. I owe all I know about this to Roy - we can ask him if you run out of luck, but I think you have a bit to work on now Good luck!
