      Need help with this one...

      O.k. guys, I need a little assistance. I have a 69 camaro with a 408 sbc, a holley AED 750, Electric fuel pump with regulator (dead head), a MSD 6AL ignition and a petronix distributor. The car is a 4 speed with a Muncie.



      After driving the car for a while on two warm days, 78 and 89 degrees, the problem occurred doing the same exact thing. I was on a business street and when I approached a stop light I pushed the clutch in and immediately the car stalled. It didn't sputter or anything, it just quit like I turned the key off. Now this has happened only twice. The first time I let the car sit (after pushing it off the road) for about 30 minutes and then it fired right up. The second time I tried starting it immediately and after a few tries it started up and ran a little rough. I pulled into a parking lot and just let it idle for a little bit and then it ran fine.

      Two things I want to mention. I believe both times it occurred I had just below a half a tank of gas. The second thing is that my electric fuel pump needs to be relocated as I have it mounted to high as well as I need to install a sump into my gas tank. I noticed I begin to suck air into my pump when my gas gets below a 1/2 tank (fuel slosh) and my pump acts a little erratic.

      Sorry for the long post but if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance.
