Well, there are only a couple things left. Take the float bowl cover back  
off, remove the fuel inlet fitting and float valve and make sure they are clear 
 
and free. My bet is gummed up float valves. On the later cars there is a 
screen  inside the inlet banjo fittings that can get plugged up also.

First of  all thanks to everyone who responded to my question.



Here is  the deal, I sprayed starter fluid and got a kick, so I decided
to take  Keith's approach and check the fuel float bowls and they were
empty.   I filled them up, put the tops back on and it fired and ran like
a sewing  machine.  It ran so good that I'm jealous that my 67.5 doesn't
run as  well.  Now the rub, when the fuel runs out in the bowls, that's
it,  engine dies.  No fuel is getting in.  I popped the supply hose  off
and cranked and fuel came pulsing out as expected from a healthy  fuel
pump.  I've removed the line after the pump and blown into it  hoping to
force in gas, but no help. Does anyone have any  suggestions?



Thanks



Richard
