Thanks all, and thanks Kittysgreyvolvo, for your comments.

This is my 1985. Just turned over 50K miles. Thanks for 'splaining that I don't have a CPS. Fuel-tank-wise, the volume was probably a little less than half a tank. Maybe a quarter. Haven't heard any noticeable sounds from fuel pumps.

Haven't spun the fuses yet.

But here's a bit of an update - yesterday when I went out to drive home after work the car would not start. Tried multiple times. Today it will be towed to my mechanic. Since it's not starting (assuming this symptom continues today) he should be able to track down the root cause... I'm thinking...
