Took my 67 out today for it's first run in about 9 months and ran into some issues. I got the car started, cruised for about 30 minutes (55-60 mph), and started heading back toward the house. I pulled up to an excessively long stop light and the car stalled while I was waiting on the light to change and refused to start again. The engine sputtered a few times before giving out, so I suspected a fuel problem. I removed the air cleaner and cycled the carb a few times to see if there was any fuel there. Nothing. Next, I decided to pull the fuel line off the carb. Bone dry. After waiting about thirty minutes for a tow truck to show up (thanks to Hagerty), I decided to try it again. The starter cranked the car over 6 or 7 times and it started. Ran fine all the final two miles home and I shut the car off for about 5 minutes. I started the car again, managed to back up and start pulling forward when it stalled and refused to start again. Same sputter as before. Fine, I'll Fred Flintstone it in.
The car ran great up until it started doing this. It was about 80 degrees here today, but the coolant temp never went above 180. Am I experiencing vapor lock, or is there something more going on here? Car ran perfect before I put it away. Could I have sucked something into the fuel filter that would be causing this? I did stop after my 30 minutes of cruising to top the tank off, but had no problems getting it started again.
