Uh-Oh...Rapid idle fluctuation, and no power+ <85spg>

Driving home this am, feeling pretty good about the saab <1985 SPG>, when....Two blocks from home, I develop a very rapid idle fluctuation <about a 1 second period> of 100 or so rpm. Along with this, I get no power.....(step on the gas, clutch in, revs freely.....In gear, floor it, no rpm change...just stays there...sad....sad.) No change in conditions with IAC lines pinched, no change with MAF sensor disconnected. And, of course, no CEL in 1985.
>>>Also, I'm getting the smell I associate with LEAN running. My feeling is the fuel prepump--we're a somewhere under 1/2 a tank now (hard to tell, as the gas guage has been free associating for a about two years now)--or possibly the pump....and the filter, of course...
I expect I can fill the tank, and see if it helps <gas station a block away>.
Anyone want to jump in before I start taking things apart....Please?
