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.

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

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 am back with this issue. I just bought a new condenser and installed it. Before I try to start the car I wanted to do a static timing to see how far or good approx is the timing/ I pulled the number one spark and it has a lot of carbon, which to me if I am npt wronh the car is runnung rich. (please see the pic). I getting the number one cylinder to TDC, I went a little past and fonud that the BTDC is at 5 deg and the points are at 0.025 gap. From wwhat I have read the gap at this 5 deg shoukd just be opening. Since the car is an automatic I need to go and set the timing at 12 deg.
Any comments or suggestions will be aappreciated

Gentlemen, Further to my woes, as I am trying to preliminary adjust the timing statically and see if I can get the engine to run continuosly, I found that the TDC is way off the engine timing marks, which I think is way off. I checked the perimeter of the harmonic balancer and there are no ther notches that could possible be nearer the timing marks. Please see the enclosed picture. Does this means that the notch inthe balance has slided? What should I do next? Please ypur comments are apprec iated

These are good procedures. However, I'll humbly say again that carburetor issues ease in and ease out. Your video demonstrated an engine with instantaneous 1/2 second cut-out, instant return to rpm, then instant stall. That is symptoms of the ignition, not carburation. Neither choke nor mixture produce that instant engine response.
You can verify immediately with a timing light. Not aimed at anything, just flashing all 6 sparks off the coil-distributor wire. Run the engine. When it starts to cut out, the light will cut out too. If it cuts out and the light had no break in it's flash, then you know it's fuel.
