This indicated a failed standpipe in the header tank.. Some models of
coupes used a standpipe for overflow...instead of a fixed overflow fitting on
the rear side of the tank.
Vibration often caused the overflow pipe to fail, causing draining of the
header tank. Most coupes tranlks have been modified to the rear wall overflow
fitting...solving this problem.
Perhaps yours still has ( had) the standpipe system, and has failed.. and
now the drain out exceeds the fuel pump input, so no fuel is remaining in the
header tank. Modification to the rear wall overflow system requires removal of
the tank and repair..

See Service Dept Memorandum 43... ... where the standpipe system is
discontinued...
