Thanks for the replies!
The car has sat for the last few days (been too busy with x-mas stuff to mess with it) and now it won't even start. When I crank it for a few seconds and pump the accelerator the engine will putt once or twice but not actually run on its own. Then it will just crank and crank untill I stop and wait for a few minutes and do it all over again.
I'm almost positive that it's a fuel issue given this most recent development.
I'll pull the carb and give it a good cleaning per stang5's advice. Hopefully that will do the trick.
70_Nitrous_Eate, I changed the fuel filter ( the other one looked to be fully functional though). I'm 99% sure that the fuel pump is not the problem (I checked it a couple on months ago, and all seemed to be normal). How do I check to see if the power valve is working properly? And I'll find out if it is a jet problem when I clean it in the next couple of days.
mustangman65_79, thanks for the tuning advice. I'll give it a try as soon as I get her up and running again.
If anyone has any other ideas please let me know..I'll keep you posted
