If your going to check the fuel
1. see if trash (rust) is getting up to your carb.
2. check the condition of the carb, if its 40 years old, probably way past its time for a rebuild.
3. Whats the condition of the fuel pump?
4. Any vaccum leaks?

Dont forget to check the ignition system, are you running points or HEI? How old are the plug wires?
