My 1967 BJ8 ran perfectly for 2000 plus miles in 2007. This week, May 6, The car ran strong for 45 miles of highway driving and then lost power and stopped. I got it restarted but the problem immediately reoccurred withing two miles. To the untrained eye, the problem seems like fuel starvation.
I know that the floats are working and the banjo filters are clean from an inspection in early April. The fuel tank is new in 2007 as well as the fuel pump (non-standard NAPA). The car also has an inline fuel filter - new in 2007 after tank replacement.
What am I missing for an adjustment on the roadside? I know that the fuel pump is active from hearing it before starting the engine. My only current option is towing from a convenience store where the car is now sitting.
