as the owner of 3 T BIRD SUPER COUPES,your fuel pump is going bad needs replaceing,and hitting the bottom of gas tank was the best thing you could have done,it got it working,RIGHT.

Sounds like you have a wire that may have a bad connection and you hitting the tank may have wiggled it just enough to get it to power the pump a fuel pump either works or it don't so the pump is good it's in the wiring or connection..
