Robert,
Why not just replace the filter on your 7? It's easy to get to from underneath;
driver side firewall area.
Keep in mind the pump on the rotary car is high pressure and may be at fault.
Not a clogged condition after all.
Is your car normally aspirated or supercharged? Dustin, my son, has a Turbo II
and knows a fair amount about their idiosyncrasies. One of our project cars is
a Turbo II powered Bugeye, so we're learning as we go on this one.

Keep the sticky side down!
