power loss at wide open throttle

Car had been running great and then it would bog (loss of fuel) if floored too long. I hadn't changed the fuel filter in the line yet since I bought the car so I thought I would start there. Good place to start, it was dirty!!!
It was tucked up right at the tank outlet and a metal one, I replaced it with the 33033 MicroGuard metal filter.
seems to be running good again when I checked it the other day.
May need to change tank out.


Just taped it on the apron

blew through backwards

Eastwood sells Gas Tank sealer kits, If you tank isnt rotted completely out ,this will work. I also, once, had a radiator shop boil out a tank. That got all the crap out of the tank.
