Gentleman. A couple of couple of months ago I have to pump gas out of my tank due to a hurricane causing a gas shortage. Had to have it ready to be put it in my company van if necessary. Well didn't have to so I put it back in my 65 Sport Fury. Drove the car had no problems. One day I noticed some small pieces of black looking pieces of trash in my clean gas filter. I changed the filter. Needed to any way. Just figured it was trash from the tank. Drove the car the next day with not problems then one after driving it I smelled gas. Looked under the hood and the gas filter was leaking. I had cracked the glass. Brought and installed a new filter cranked the car ran fine no leaks. When to drive the car the next week and found that same type of trash in the filter again. Cleaned the trash out. The only thing I could come up with was the black trash like stuff was from the fuel pump. Not the tank. So I brought a new fuel pump and installed it. Installed a longer piece of 3/8 hose from the gas filter to the carburetor. Sprayed gas in the carburetor. Typed to crank the car it wouldn't crank. The gas gauge reads a little over half a tank. I have not checked to see if I have fire to the plugs yet. Will do next. Well guys, what am I missing. What are some other checks I can do.
