Does it only do it when the tank is near empty, and is OK when full??? There
is a "well" in the bottom of the tank to keep the pump from starving on
turns. If the tank has rust/dirt in it, the gap around the fuel return line
that keeps this well full will get plugged up. I had this problem with my
'71 when I first got it. I had to flush th rust out of the tank to fix the
problem.
I think Tom Hansen has a picture of what this part of the tank looks like.
