so i took my 67 out today. my car showed a quarter tank but it died. i thought i ran out of gas so i got it toabout 6 gallons. on my way back home, the rpms started gettin lower so i threw it into neutral and it stood on. as soon as i threw it into drive it died. i took apart the front part of the carb and the gas in there drained. i was able to turn it on and everytime i came down to a stop sign it was ready to die so i had to run the stop signs to keep it from dying. i made it to my driveway and it died. it has a hard time startin up. i just got the timing done about a month ago and it ran strong. over time though, i noticed the idle kept dropping. do you think its a timing problem, a carb problem, or somethin else??? can someone help me out? its my daily driver and i love that car sooo much!

 

How old is your coil?
I've had that happen to me a couple of times with a bad coil. As the coil would heat up, and finally start to overheat, the engine would crap out.

 

i had the coil changed last year in september. i hope thats the problem.

 

Fuel pump? Fuel filter? Start with basics and it might turn out to be something simple.
