New gas tank and sending unit 3 years ago
Carburetor professionally rebuilt fall of 2020
Distributor professionally rebuilt fall of 2020
New cap, rotor and points
New AC Delco plugs and wires last summer
New coil this spring
New fuel pump (last summer and again yesterday)
New fuel lines
New carburetor fuel filter (last summer and yesterday). Old ones looked good.
New vacuum advance line for distributor to carb

I'm going to pull the sending unit out of the gas tank. It's been suggested that maybe the sock filter has collapsed (?).

Any other suggestions or possible issues are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

We used to shoot a little low pressure compressed air into the line not a lot just a quick shot to blow out crap in the sock . Leave the cap off while doing it .

My 68 327 did this when going up hills and at near WOT . Turned out the rubber line going from the pump to the frame hard line was collapsing
