<p>Hope your news turns out to be good! My '78 has had issues like that in the past. I've replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump...I'm pretty sure the problem is I have a ton of rust and crap in the gas tank, and it eventually gets sucked into the filter and fuel pump and clogs them. I need to pull the gas tank, clean and reseal it with the POR-15 kit. You can do a search on <a href="http://ratwell.com/">http://ratwell.com/</a> and he explains it there pretty good - I believe whc03grady on here…</p>

Good luck!</p>
