Replace your fuel filter, check the screen. If your car dumps gas out the RF wheel well when you fill the tank up full or when you make left turns, then your "overflow" hose is broken. This is a classic problem and is the way that most dirt and water gets into the gas tank on 68-73 type 3s. I carry these hoses in stock, however they are no longer cheap. Still a lot cheaper than a fuel pump.
