Default Re: My new 48 F-1

Some of you know that I have re-wired my truck and had some problems, I think I have it all figured out finally. I also lost the fuel pump this past week so I got a new one and it got here today. I put it on and it took me some priming but she fired up and ran very nice, no vibrations, sounds like a sewing machine.

I decided to take it for a spin around the block. Ran great for about three blocks then stalled. I could not get it re - started. I got some starting fluid and it needed a bunch of shots down the carb to get it to start. When it did start it ran like a champ and got me back home. I shut it off and waited a second and hit the starter button and it fired on the first crank. Am I good? Why do you think it stalled?
