Does it happen more when the engine has already warmed up and has been running OK? If the engine is cold and you try to start it, does it start right up? Do you push the gas pedal down and release it (to set the choke)?
It looks like that car uses the old style mechanical pump for about $30. Carbs are around $400 but the repair kit float, etc. are pretty cheap.

Modern hotrodders love ethanol. E85 is the âsuper premiumâ or Sunoco 260 of today.
Properly outfitted with the correct fuel lines and O rings, and sometimes bigger fuel injectors and pumps, the 100+ octane and cooling effect of richer mixtures make turbo engines with performance tunes happy. Helps NA engines too although not as much.
But pre 1990 engines do not like ethanol at allâŠ
