That's what happened to me ~ I think it was one of my NA red Diesel Coupes , it began to run poorly then roughly , I was trying everything and finally a member here told me to try replacing the (then $10) primer pump ~ I did so and the car <magically> ran perfectly again .

I have seen two of the manual pumps that leaked cause a problem.
When they leak fuel when hand pumping, they can allow air to be sucked
in when running. Both that I saw (on dally driven cars)showed up as severe loss of power on hard acceleration. Yours, after sitting may have had enough fuel in the IP to start and run until the air got to the output, then no pressure. That is a cheap and easy fix.
On a side note, I think the hardest thing these old machines is to let then sit.
Of coarse like others here I have a few of these car and can't drive them all.
