Hi
I recently purchased a 1976 L48 corvette. I’ve put about 600 miles on it so far. On two occasions and again today, it has a rough idle and hesitates when I first accelerate. Each time it has happened the gas tank is down to 1/4 (probably just coincidence?). It’s fine at higher speeds along highways but it’s frustrating as I drive around town. The previous owner let it sit through the pandemic year with very little gas in the tank so I’m not sure if that’s a factor. I’m sure there must be a long list of possible causes including, distributer, spark plugs, accelerator pump, fuel filter etc. so any help in the diagnosis would be appreciated.
