Well, it kinda almost works. I found out that it would cut out quickly as
I went upside down, but would get a "second" wind and run a little bit.
I figure it was dribbling the gas through the bowl vent hole and it would
run until the bowl went dry. This on an A65-8 as I recall. There was an
fjh version of the little Continentals that had fuel injection. I flew a 7ac
that had that engine, but never attempted anything other than level
flight and standard rate turns.

Don't mess with it. Level flight and standard rate turns are appropriate
maneuvers for A65's. The added wear and tear of aerobatics with the
little Continental is akin to abusing your grandmother.

One can place a slide valve on the oil pick up to give you about 30 seconds
of oil. but the carb will not work upside down even with gas being forced
to
it.

while doing aerobatics? can I install an electric fuel pump? or will I
flood the engine?

You won't need to get fuel to the carburetor during negative g aerobatics
because the carburetor won't work anyway. Neither will your engine's oil
system.
