If you are using a single fuel pump like I have been doing, just change the
pump and see if it goes away. I am using a stock parts-store electric rotary
pump that runs all of the time with the pressure reduced by a regulator. About
the first three times your problem happened to me, I struggled on a
mechanical pump at the track, which corrected the problem. Now I carry a spare
electric fuel pump.
My ancient ignition system consists of an old capacitive discharge box for
positive ground with a dual point Mallory distributor. I can throw down two
switches, cut out the CD box, and cut in a coil for a stock ignition system.
Every time I switched ignitions, it did not change the problem. Every time I
changed the fuel pump, it did; even though the pumps check out with pressure
and
flow. This is now the first move I make.
The above is not to say that you still don't have ignition problems or a
minute carburetor leakage point.
