It's a good question that I have been pondering since a 280Z fuel tank is almost 40 years old. Therefore, there is a good chance there is rust inside and also there is a good chance that you are restoring a car or trying to troubleshoot a fuel problem. Much has been said about "restoring" a fuel tank. That generally means cleaning it out and sometimes lining it with a coating. Therin lie the problem. At the fuel outlet port (the one that goes to the fuel pump) there is a baffle screen. The baffle, which is a cylinder screen attached to the bottom of the tank surounding the outlet port, can get plugged up with the lining compound.

What makes a 76 datsun 280z sputter?
A 1976 Datsun 280Z may sputter due to several factors, including fuel delivery issues like a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump, which can restrict the flow of gasoline to the engine. Ignition system problems, such as worn spark plugs, faulty ignition coil, or bad wiring, can also cause sputtering by preventing proper combustion. Additionally, issues with the air intake system, like a dirty air filter or vacuum leaks, can disrupt the air-fuel mixture, leading to sputtering. Regular maintenance and diagnostics can help identify and resolve these issues.

Does it feel more like a fuel starvation or an electrical glitch? You rterm die needs some clarification as in, you step on the gas and nothing or sitting at idle and it quits or all of a sudden I lose power and lights. To make a wild guess I would say with what you have posted change the fuel filter and then start looking at your fuel pump. If it's electrical, I would look at battery connections first.
