My '68 sat for three years when I was overseas.  I had lots of problems with 
fuel starvation when I put it back on the road.  The tank had started to rust 
and the rust particles were so fine they clogged the fuel pickup sock so that 
it collapsed at a certain point.  The fuel filters would clog up every few 
days.  I couldn't drive over 45 on the highway and if I "punched it" the engine 
would die after about a second.  After I replaced the tank and sender assemby 
(with a new one and new sock) it ran beautifully.
