Reply to "Fuel line no gas again"

The early cars had a pickup tube that extended into the tank with a banjo fitting on the top. The fuel sender was just that. On the later cars the pickup tube is part of the fuel sender unit. The pickup tube on the early cars develop pin holes as they corrode which causes the fuel pump to draw in air and fuel which will starve the pump. There is also a filter sock on the end which can be removed by "mechanical means" without removing the tank. The simple fix is to replace youe fuel sender with a later model (available from vendors, although other cars use a very similar design). You can leave the old pickup tube installed. Makes for a good return if you use fuel injection.
