My first thought is to check the join between the steel pipe and the clear one.
My second thought is to check the sealing washer between the pump body and lid which gives access to the filter inside (assuming it is a mechanical pump).
My third thought is to check where the steel pipe fits to the fuel tank.
I am not familiar with the Super Snipe, but these checking points are the most likely problem areas on most cars.

Not really sure some air in a fuel pipe matters much with a carb car? Other than suggesting the pump isn't really up to the job?
