Last night I was coming home from daughters house in my '67 Fury hardtop with the 318 engine. The car was running really well until I came to a stoplight. It just died out and would not start. It turned over fine but would not run. I checked the carb for fuel squirting from the accelerator pump and fuel was not present. I tapped the needle fitting and got it to squirt fuel like it should and it started but died again soon after. When I bought the car last Janurary, the guy told me that the fuel pump had been replaced and it looked fairly new. I will try to go where the car is later today and see if the pump is in fact pumping. I bought gas earlier last night and I am hoping that it was not bad. I suppose that pumps like any other mechanical stuff can fail prematurly. I'll post more info when I get it.
