ive had 4 rigs with this type of problem. all of them after i overhauled the carbs which needed done . 1.72 ltd fuel tank full of crud . plugged fuel filter every 5 miles or so . replaced fuel tank about 150.00. fixed .1979 f250 kinked hose between front and rear fuel tanks . front tank had slid back after 30 plus years of driving. moved tank fixed problem . 1956 ford mainline tank full of crud and also short hose to fuel pump . replaced tank and hose 200.00 fixed. 1953 ford dump truck 100 hp flat head. piece of electrical tape sucked up in the stand pipe under heavy load .remove tape . just mental cost. as you can see all were fuel delivery problems after i overhauled carb.forgot 1 more dodge power wagon with 440.bought it with brand new carb. owner couldn't keep it running so i got it real cheap . tank full of crud.1 more this is a good one 1973 mercury 429 owner had spent a fortune. drive down the road 10,15 who knows miles car would stall . bought it cheap.some one had used clear silicone on the carb gasket, between  the air horn the extra  silicone had fallen of on the inside and would plug the jets .let the car sit and it would restart and run for a few more miles.fwiw

Well, I think I have it fixed, need to drive it more to tell for sure. Even though I couldn't see rust particles in the gas, they were there. Installed a new gas tank (old one was a rust bucket), blew out the lines, replaced the filters, and the engine purrs. Hasn't ran that good in a while, so I think the carb is fine. Gone for two test drives and really pushed it, so far, so good.

I could still blow thru the filters but there was some back pressure and after the old tank dried out, I could see how bad the rust was.

Thanks to all of you who helped me on this, I feel so much better now!
