I just recently bought a 1968 mustang coupe with a straight six. When I bought it, it had been sitting for about a year. After driving it for about ten minutes it began to sputter like it wasn't getting enough gas. It ran for about thirty minutes and then it died on me and I had to tow it home. I checked all the fuel lines to make sure their weren't any leaks, and I checked the fuel filter and it was relativly clean. Now when I drive it, it runs fine up to about 40-45MPH, but then starts to sputter once I hit 45-50MPH. Does anybody out there have any suggestions. I am considering replacing the gas tank and the fuel lines, but as they are all originals (as is almost everything on the car) I'd rather not do this. I am also considering adding an inline fuel filter. Is this a good idea? Thanks
