Hey guys I'm new to this forum. I've owned a 70 GTO since 1992. I was 21 and drove from TX to KS to pick it up. The car was mostly complete, but missing motor and Trans.
For the last 24 yrs the car is mostly parked in the garage. Every few months I'll crank it on and go for a drive. I went out last week and poured little gas in carb like always, but this time it wouldn't stay on.
It usually takes a while for gas to get up to carb from the tank, but No go this time? The car does start w/ little gas in carb, so not a spark issue. I noticed after several attempts fuel filter empty. So, I changed the fuel pump blew out the lines w/ air just in case, changed filter, But it still does same thing it runs then when gas in carb goes out it dies and won't start back up, unless I pour more gas in carb. Any ideas?? I thought for sure it was fuel pump, since it was 24 yrs old.
