Maybe a carb, fuel pump, tank or line problem? By Royce Peterson - 01/14/2002 3:45:30 PM; IP 216.196.173.137 Greg, If the car sat that long I would bet there is some gummy old fuel residue causing a problem, could be blocking one of the check valves in the fuel pump if it is the original type. AMK sells rebuild kits for the original Carter "X" fuel pumps, Kanter is another good source for this item. You can rebuild the pump with no special tools other than a punch, hammer and screwdriver. You will need carb cleaner to get rid of the goo that collects in the pump when a car sits that long. Another possibility is a dried out carburetor metering block gasket. They shrink and can cover the air bleed passages if the gasket recedes enough. The gas tank can be full of rust also, this is best remedied by tossing the old tank and installing a new one, they only cost $150.00 with sending unit from Dallas Mustang (1-800-Mustang).
