Typical modern cars have a plastic ball, more or less a ping-pong ball, that acts as a check valve in the filler tube at the tank that floats upward when the tank gets full and stops you from overfilling it.
I have heard of them swelling up from long-term gas exposure or that check system can otherwise jam or fail limiting how fast you can fill the tank. A little debris, piece of a rag, or towel, etc., could easily jam them, as well.
Wife's cousin runs a repair shop in town and was working on a TrailSmasher about that age when I stopped by a few months back, with the same problem, He dropped the tank, and looked at the fill check and filler tube, etc., couldn't see anything wrong, finally gave up and put it all back together and it works normally. Go figure?????

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
