Default 1915 Model T. Engine stalling

Replaced gas tank that had rotted in 1915 Model T. After 7 to 10 minutes of running the car sputtered, back fired and died. Replaced carburetor thinking it picked up contaminates from old tank. Car has a distributor. Replaced coil and condenser. Problem still persists. There is good gas flow to carburetor and again after 7 to 10 minutes engine sputtered, back fired and died. Sitting for couple of hours will restart but still have same problem. Would appreciate any information, leads, suggestions. Thanks. Tim
P.s. With old tank car always ran good!

You need to put your question on the Model T discussion forum. This is where you ask questions to the editors about the site.

Model T discussion forum (I think they will say the tank is not vented.)
