I have been looking at the catalog these guys have: https://eclassics.com/eclassics-1964-1968-ford-mustang-fuel-tank-with-drain-16-gallon

Dear members, I have done my due diligence and have installed a new tank, cleaned the lines and installed the carburator with the adjustments indicated in the manual. Today I started the car and after some hard strts it started, However, when the car was running it stopped all of the sudden. Restrated again and it did the same thing. I made a short visdeo to show waht is happening. I am goinfg crazy with this situation as I see no end to it. Could someone give me some suggestions to get the car running? Appreciate your comments.

A couple things, unless it is new too, remove the screw in filter from the carb, empty gas from it, the blow thru it, there should be very little restriction.
I noticed a pressure guage, is that before or after the pressure regulator?
I don’t like the choke being shut. If you adjust it to fully open, does it change?
What happens if you turn the idle up to 2k ish, will it keep running? With the choke open? And with the choke shut?
We are trying to determine if it is the carb or something else.

Thanks for the vid! That is your ignition cutting out. It is not the carb. Heard a 1/4 second miss first, then boom, instant cut off. That's spark. Carbs issues don't react that abruptly.

Don, Car was cold to start. Can not get it to run continuosly. Tank is brand new, lines have been blown. THe reguator is after the pump, there is no gauge. Regulator indicates a pressure of 3 psi when is cranking and when it runs for a few seconds.
Frank, I am thinking of getting a new condenser and I will see if the coil is good. Other than that anythigelse that I shoulld look into?
Thanks for your comments Don and Frank

Just tested the coil and there is a good continuous spark.

Put a timing light on the coil-to-distributor wire and leave it on while running the engine. My ear still says ignition. If the lights still on when it stalls, I'll admit wrong.

When I first got caught up in this inline-6 community, I read a lot of stories about bad ignition condensers. It might have been a bad run at the time 2023/24 but I read several discussions where the car was parked because of a bad condenser, right out of the box.

here's my $ .02
.
had' recent episode with 'new' points ignition set - 'condensor' on a friends '63 Comet 200 . Maybe thermal or chemical fault , intermittent cut out after initial start. 'Simple' help with tune up turned into an episode .
.
To ease doubts about the fuel supply, I use a small tank underhood without fuel pump and gravity feed to the carb. This helps isolate tank or FP related problem .
.
have fun

I guess I was assuming the guage outlined in the photo was for fuel.
