It wouldn't start after it died. Thanks for the suggestions. I would hate to have to pull the tank, but maybe that is the problem.

I'm in the process of having an aluminum tank fabricated because, I hate to say, removing and cleaning the rust out of my tank has become an annual event since I left my car sit for a couple of years.

Removing the tank is also a good time to replace the pre-pump filter, and cleaning the wire mesh filter inside the tank.

Last year I replaced the fuel pump/filter with an Edlebrock pump up front and installed a Malosi FilterKing regulator in the engine bay and I STILL have to blow out my main jets a couple of times a year.
