I had a similar problem too the extreme when I bought my 79 after it had
sat for ten years. The car once warmed up, would just out right quit.
No fuel. I removed the tank and the pick up tube had a plug one inch up
the pipe of little rust shards that had fused together. Since your fuel
pressure gauge varies when this condition is present, I would seriously
consider cleaning out the fuel pickup tube and having the tank boiled at
your local radiator shop.
