I am thoroughly confused now!! My car is a 1962 Hawk with a 289 V-8 and automatic transmission. Back in February, I thought I was experiencing vapor lock. After studying the problem and realizing that the 'vapor lock' only occurred when the car was running, and that genuine vapor lock only occurs when the engine is stopped and attempted to restart... not my problem. I decided that it must be the ignition coil, so I replaced it with a new Pertronix Ignition Coil (though I have not replaced the points set up on the Delco Distributor. The first time out with the new ignition coil, I got about three miles from home and again it acted as though I was running out of gas. It completely died. I checked the clear in line fuel filter and saw gasoline in it. I have previously replaced the fuel pump (but not with a Carter). Also just prior to that I replace the Carter Carb with a new Edelbrock. I was amazed at how much better the car started and ran.
Any ideas as to what the problem could be?? I'm baffled!!!!!!!
