I've had the same symptoms
with gunk in the tank. A little bit of stuff would jam the fuel pump
valve, and it would lose fuel pressure. Cheap solution? Put a filter
BEFORE the pump, and change it frequently.
The other thing I had trouble with was the fuel return line. On '68
and later cars, there's supposed to be a little thermo-valve on the back
carb to hold fuel pressure at the carbs. It breaks easily, so some PO
had replaced mine with an open fitting. I lost fuel pressure going up
hills....
Good luck,
Toby
