Re: 50 years ago I was given this USAF 54 3100

Well connecting the choke positive to the number 2 alternator terminal works perfectly. A slight tap on the gas pedal and it fires up immediately. Also fires up without any pedal when warm which is nice. I may add again that i think i really messed up having an electric fuel pump before the mechanical one on the engine. I would run the electric just long enough to deliver fuel after being parked for long periods to save on cranking. Believe running them this way damaged the diaphragms is one or both leading to reduced flow and stalling. Removing the electric and adding a brand new pump aids in perfect starts and eliminating stalling. Another dumb idea.
