Re: It's running nicely now, sort of.

I like to take the "whole patient" approach to these things, I'd pull the tank, have it treated with the Re-Nu process, which will get it cleaned out and sealed, then check your fuel line going to the engine, make sure there is no rust (pinhole rust will drive you insane if it is happening) and replace the flex line to the fuel pump, that's probably pretty old now. One of the PAC regions has made new ones, I think Niagara Packards. How's the fuel pump? sometimes a car that has sat for a long time gets a lot of what is called gasoline today moving through it and the diaphragm has a disagreement with the chemical cocktail and that leads to fun. I'd go through all of that, make sure you are 100% and there will be less chance of road failure, and less devaluing of the car to the females in your life.
