Last week I was driving the 68 when it died like it had run out of gas although the tank read 1/4 full. I thought the gauge had gone out, so I got a gas can and put in a few gallons with no difference. It idles ok, but cuts out and dies.

Pulled the sender and pickup to check for a clog, found none. Blew out all the lines, put in an inline filter and a new fuel pump. No change. It idles fine, runs OK until about 30 mph and it will cut in and out and die.

Rebuilt the carb and put in a HEI distributor I had for it. Still have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks
