This old car have a carburetor in It. So might need to clean your carburetor, because you car world all day when It’s still have a hot engine. You might have dirty gunk inside. You need also to inspect the air filter to change It if It’s not white clean. You can buy the factory workshop repair manual for you car here to gain knowledge where the parts are.

thanks for the heads up for tradebit site,looks like a good site to keep around as i have been looking for service manuals for different autos.
if I were you I would put a fuel pressure gauge on it when it was cold and then turn the key to the run position and check and see if the fuel pump kicks on. If not I would look at the fuel pump relay, it may not be operating correctly.
durango,thanks for the help i finally found the problem,it was a kink in the rubber gas line on top of the fuel tank.
thanks wildwilly,
when i first got the car it wasn’t running and i dropped the fuel tank to replace the fuel pump. it was kinked a little then but i didn;t fix it so it came back to bite me.
thanks for the help.
