Boy, the more I think about this, the more it comes back to a coggled fuel pick-up in the tank. The car's 40yo, probably sat most the time, fuel tank metal breaks down (Scale, rust). Bill what do you think?? My 73 Volvo 1800ES, had to remove the tank (10years ago) because of that problem, couldn't find another gas tank (Most rusted out) the tank guy, boiled out, and glassed (Fiberglass) the inside of the tank, good to go. Mine was so bad, after 10mins of idling it would clog, and died. Or a Vapor lock is a possibility. Chupee, it worth checking. Cheers Tom.

Setup a temporary fuel tank and line to carb. You need to start to narrow down your search. Cheaper than a tow. Engine forward or fuel line back.

Scary but true...................

Makes you wonder what the backstory is on cars we have owned in the past
