If that's the case i'm guessing it's not electrical... especially if it sputtered before going dead.
Maybe the fuel pump?
Sorry. Cranks but won't catch at all. Car sputtered when it died and does nothing but crank now.

I'll pull the fuel line and see if it flows when cranking. I'll also pull a plug and make sure it's sparking. Not at the same time of course!

Is there any failure other than fuel pump and fuel filter that could stop fuel. Anything in the carb or choke that could suddenly fail?

Thanks. I'm used to working on little jap motors so V8s are sort of "foreign" to me. LOL.
