2 Strom. 97s and new electric pump and regulator
 

Update: Problem solved: it was fuel starvation. Finally got the car up on the lift. 1st thing was to check fuel tank. Flow from the tank was minimal. Tok off drain plug and gas did not drain. Drained gas from outlet. Gas was clear with no signs of rust or any sediment. Blew out tank tank and line and put gas back in. Started her up and went for a ride, she went up to 75 like a rabbit and now runs fine. This tank was cleaned and sealed ten yrs. ago. Is it possible ethanol had something do do with. I'm not sure what we did right, but she now runs like a bear again. Next spring I will look for a new gas tank to make sure this does't happen again. Thanks for all your advice! Rozroost
