Classic/Antique Car Repair: 66 mustang, running one, katelyn

Question
my 66 mustang will be running one minute then sputtering and dying the next. if i try giving it gas it will sometimes sputter back on but it wont stay on. when i open my hood it smells like gas so ive started to think that it might be fuel related...but have no experience to know for sure. its a straight 6 and everything under the hood seems to be fine. please help!!! i have to get to school and work! thank you in advance.

Answer
If this just began suddenly with no real cause, begin by checking filters, gas and air. When was your last tune up? Have you ran carb/injector cleaner thru the tank? Could you have got some water in the gas from a station or gas can?

The gas smell could be clogged air filter or a leak.
