Default Re: My 1935 Convertible Sedan died on the road

Thanks for the suggestions folks, I have some checking to do.

I do have a short rubber fuel line just prior to the glass bowl. The hose clamps were not tight. I tighten them up but could not get the car started again. So I don't yet know if that was where air was coming from.

Initially I did not think it was the coil or condenser, but based on repeated comments I will look into those items.

Which makes me think, sucking a little air from one of the suggested areas, would not cause the car to stop running, would it?? I mean there is still gas in the glass bowl (so I would think there will be gas in the carb?). If that is the case, the condenser and coil failing to generate a spark is a more likely cause to my stall.
