Re: So I ran out of gas. I think. Maybe.
I had this issue many years ago with a 64. What I found was the fuel pump was weak. When the fuel got to a point the pump could not pull it. It happened on the first date with my wife. She said sounds like it ran out of fuel. I told her no way I have a foot. She said a foot? So I pulled the oak dowel out from behind the seat and checked the fuel and showed her I had gas. The dowel was my fuel gauge. Put a couple of gallons in it and primed the carb and it fired right up. New fuel pump before our next date and all was good. Been married 31years. I still have the dowel.
