My 64 Galaxie sat for almost 20 years, adn the biggest problems I have are a pinholed gas tank adn fuel line hose sections that have sucked closed and will not pass any fuel. I believe this may be your main problem, as they would allow fuel to flow until the demand goes up then crimp themselves shut. Disconnect the fuel line at the fuel pump, run a lenght of rubber hose out to a point where you can put an electric fuel pump and a gas can and try running it on that.
The real fix is to drop the fuel tank, drain adn flush it, and replace all the rubber hose sections with new hose. Change the fuel filter at the carb (or inline). Also change the filter on the fuel pump, if so equiped.
This thread, so far...
