I would definitely do the tank. We did the tank on the 54 and added an electric fuel pump near the tank. It ran okay for a while and then quite running. That is when we replace the fuel line. Use an inline fuel filter. I used one of the cheap clear plastic ones and could actually see the crud from the fuel line accumulating in it. If you still have the old vacuum fuel pump, that could be the problem. It is old and could have a pin hole in it. If the carb has one of those filters behind the inlet, I would eliminate it.

These old cars are fun but can be frustrating at times. Good luck and let us know what works.
