Today the converitble decided it needed a rest. I left work early and went to the parts store wandering looking for a project. On the way home I lost all power and coasted to a stop. started right back up and drove for another 1/2 mile then died again. Next time ran for about 4 blocks and then gave up on a side street. I could not get her to keep running, and noticed what appeared to be air in the fuel filterm almost popping. Finally I called a tow and brought her home. After cooling off at home she fired right off. I know I had gas in the tank. I also know I have rust in the tank as I can see it floating in the filter that I just changed a week ago. I was thinking the fuel pump went bad, but after the engine was cool gas pumped freely. Any suggestions. I was going to replace the fuel pump with a holley version and give it a go with a fresh tank of gas. I have driven the 63 almost everyday for that last 2 months without a problem. I knew this day was coming, so I guess I finally figured out a project for the weekend.
