>After taking our 67SV Alpine on various short jaunts, we decided to
take a
trip of appx. 160 miles. The car was running fine, alas we only had 2
gal
of gas and stopped at a gas station...and filled up. Even made sure we
put
in the additive. After driving about 2-3 miles the car started to cut
out.

I have read all the other responses, all great, but there is also the
posibility
of Pump failure.
The pump has 3 modes of failure.
1) Return spring breakage.
No fuel, or very low pressure.
2) One way valve leakage (X2).
No or little fuel, low fuel pressure particularly at Idle.
3) Ruptured diaphragm.
No or little fuel, low fuel pressure.
Check your oil for gasoline.
