Default 65 died and now wont stay running

I have a 65 fastback, I took it out last night and it ran fine getting to our destination but when I went to go home it started and ran for about 1 minute, then died. After that it would start but not stay running. It turns over fine but it wont stay running. I am not sure where to start diagnosing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If original gas tank it might be rusted or laquered up. In tank there is a "sock" that will clog up even if the filter seems fine.
