I have a 1955 Tbird with 292ci, 3 speed trans, that won't keep running. It starts great, idles fine but when you drive it or just rev it up it will die within 30 to 45 seconds. It has a new Holley (4R203). I have adjusted the floats, air/fuel screw. The fuel filter is clear and I even removed it once to see that was the problem, but no change. It has an electric fuel pump. I think I have ruled out fuel as the issue. When it dies, it will start right up and run for another minute or so. The ignition wires are fairly new. I am wondering if the problem is the condenser? Any suggestions?
