It's the fuel pump, the filter, or the relay. The relay and the fuel filter are pretty easy to replace - look under the driver's side door. The fuel pump looks like a metal cylinder with a black hose coming out of either end. The relay is a black rectangle mounted near the fuel filter, about 3"x4". The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank, and it has a strainer at the end (if you replace the pump, always also replace the strainer).

The fuel pump is on top of the fuel tank. Dropping the fuel tank is fairly involved. There are 2 straps under the car that have to be unbolted, screws inside the fuel door, and either 2 or 3 lines that have to be unscrewed from the top of the fuel pump. It *REALLY* helps to have the car up on a rack to do this. The fuel lines are prone to get stuck from rust/age and if you bend the lines, then you are scr...d...

I got a sending unit and fuel pump for $65 from a junk yard, and a strainer from a car parts place for $15 (always get a new one).

They are very hard to get going after running out of fuel. If you take the return line off from the head and suck the fuel through with a hand suction pump (like the one you take oil samples with) this will prime the head and the engine will start easy.
