The fuel tank is always a good possibility for such problems. Over time rust flakes will come loose and clog up the lines. If you discover brown crud in your filters and/or float bowls then it probably is a good time to have the tank cleaned out and coated inside.

The first few time the car stopped, I reached back and opened the fuel cap. I could not hear any "whooshing". I have a ceramic-coated 4-2-1 header from Spitbits with no thermal separation near the carb with a new Pertronix electronic ignition module and coil. I'll try the cheapest fix (new fuel filters) and work my way upwards in price. I suspect that there is blockage in the fuel system to the point that when I'm below a third of a tank, there isn't enough "head" to get the fuel all the way to the pump. I neglected to mention that this started a couple of years ago after the car just sat for a 5 month rebuild of the front suspension. I suspect now that the gas tank got rusty from the non-use of the car, and has been getting more and rustier since then. The next step would be to coat the tank with the kit from Eastwood. After that, a new tank from Spitbits. Thanks, all. Have a great British Car Week! Your messages not reaching the list?
