<VV> 95 hp shutdown

Replace your gas cap.  The vent hole in it is plugged.

Subject: <VV> 95 hp shutdown

I have a 66 4d with 95 hp engine.  It was in the Pensacola show in February.
It was driven to and from Pensacola from Slidell, LA.  Since the return, it
has shut down twice on short trips.  The 1st time it was towed and I replace
the fuel pump.  Ran fine.  On its next trip, it again shut down and had to
be towed.  I replaced the coil.  I ran it through my subdivision for about
20 minutes and brought it home allowing it to continue to run.  In about 5
minutes it shut down.  I replaced the Petronix with points and condenser.
Went through the same routine again and again it shut down.  I pulled the
air filter and caps off.  The carbs basically showed no gas going through
the crabs.  Once it had cooled down, it would get gas and run.  My question
is what could be making it loose gas.  There is no leaks and the fuel tank
is new.  The car has been driven without any changes for the last 2 years.
Ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Carl
