Well fuel boiling has become a problem even more so for the last year since most of the states, and to some degree up here, have gone to 10% ethanol. Fuel injected engines don't much care but carburated engines hate ethanol blends. But I guess we gotto keep the corn growers happy-happy.

I ordered a new fuel tank, 3/8's pickup, straps and a Carter mechanical fuel pump from RockAuto.com for the 67 Notchback I bought 2 months ago. Everything delivered to the house $297+change. The car had been sitting for 2 years and had the original tank. Everything bolted in fine and the car started right up and runs great. The previous owner had reported that the only thing wrong mechanically was the fuel pump. Apparently he was right. With all you've been through, that's what I'd do. If that fixes it, great. If not, I'd take a look at the carb too. I'm no carb wiz and I just don't have the time and patience , so I'd try a different carb ( borrow one maybe ) and see if that makes a difference. Then you can get your Holley up to par or buy a new one. By then your pretty much new from front to back and with any luck you'll have solved the "Mysterious Case of the Fuel Fluke". Good Luck!
Hmmm,:-k How ya like those Carter pumps now Mulli?8)
Ax, just a wild stab at the wind here.
Do you have "any" section of questionable rubber hose in the fuel system like maybe near the tank that may be collapsing shut on itself while under load?
If not.......
I second borrowing another carb for a quick let's see what this does.
ok, my .02 time.... Just read your post and a couple of things come to mind.
1) Fuel sock in your tank is getting clogged.
2) Small air leak in the feed line to either pump. (could be inside tank)
Only 2 things that make any sense from what I have read. The fuel press dropping to 4.5 would mean it's pumping air instead of fuel.
I agree. That's why I suggest new stuff from sock to carb. Just make triple sure the fuel lines are air tight. Then I dare it not to work properly!ok, my .02 time.... Just read your post and a couple of things come to mind.

For what it's worth, I had a fuel problem in my 67 ragtop Cuda which I bought after it had been sitting for years. I put in a new engine, fired it up and it ran for a day or so then stopped. The mechanical fuel pump quit pumping even thought it was brand new. I ordered another one, put it on and it lasted about another day or two. Finally I pulled the sending unit which I should have done from the start. The sock on the end was not even there and there was so much crap in the tank it was just sucking into the pump. Needless to say, I dropped the tank, dumped it, cleaned it and replaced the pickup tube/sending unit, sock etc. All is ok now that I have clean fuel. DUH!
Dude, might as well mini tub that sucker now and put a fuel cell in it....
Just kiddin.
If that filtration device is one of those sintered bronze things (looks like a bunch of tiny metal balls mashed together), I'd take it out and run a normal canister filter. They've aggravated starvation issues for me in the past. Just out of curiosity - if it is one of the sintered units, is it in the line on the pump side of the gauge?I have removed all fuel filters before the carb cause I'm at wits end.... there is only a small brass filter near the carb is the only filter devise present.
