Stalling/loss of power after getting after it.

Took the kids to an ice cream joint the next town over tonight. When we left I got after it, short shifting into second and coasted. It died. I popped it into neutral and cranked for probably 15-20 seconds (turned onto a side road while still coasting) before it started. Gave it a quick look and everything seemed ok.

Half way home there is a stop sign in the middle of nowhere. Set the line lock for a short little burnout. Ran out of fuel again and had to pedal it to keep it running.

Got it home and the only thing I noticed is the fuel gauge attached to the carb line would wonder from 3-6psi. Never done that before but not the most trust worthy gauge.

I had plans to move the fuel filter anyways but wondering if there are some things to look into before I start changing things.

1969 Dart. 360 tank, 3/8 sender, 3/8 line to pump, carter high flow, Holley 750 mechanical.

Haven’t really done anything with the fuel system in a long time. Has ran awesome.

Can’t work on the car so here I am typing away.


Clogged fuel filter/Fuel filter hoses collapsing
Bad pump
Shitty gas
Clogged fuel tank vent
Crap in the carb
