Thanks guys Here is my situation. I had been driving my 33 coupe about 100 miles and I stopped to refuel. I had my cruise control set at 67 mph on the interstate and traveled about 50 miles when I came into a speed zone so I reset my cruise at 60 and after a few miles I realized my engine was not pulling any longer and I wound up on the shoulder. I thought for awhile as to what could have happened. I have an electric fuel pump that I use to prime the carb and I held it on for a moment. I then hit the starter and the engine came to life and I drove another 70 miles to my home without incident, except driving through a rain storm. My car is a fairly recent rebuild with almost ten thousand miles on it. I am a bit stupefied. I have driven my car several hundred miles since then with no problems. Thanks for listening

As you narrowed the problem to the fuel pump, I'd suspect the stock pump on your car is the culprit. If it wasn't changed to an alcohol proof type during the rebuild, I would do so now. If it was changed, that doesn't necessarily follow it was produced with nitrile rubber parts. The diaphragm in the pump loses flexibility, and will eventually crack until it will no longer support adequate delivery. We are seeing lots of this problem at our shop. Many suppliers have had the pumps and rebuild kits on the shelf for years, and can't verify they can handle today's fuel.
