This engine is in a 49 chevy pickup. After not running for 2 years I noticed rust and junk in the fuel . I cleaned the gas tank real good and thought that stuff was every where and after inspection I found it in the carb , beside the fuel filter . I inspected the plugs and wires and points .Decided to replace it all. Even the ballast resister I replaced. It will start and it idles really smooth and very quiet. Wont stay running it just dies. Start it up again run the RPM's up a bit not too much and with holding at higher RPM's it shuts down . I have a manual choke and I tried chocking it thinking it was starving for gas and it didn't keep it from dying. The carb was re-mfg and earlier I had dismantled it to make sure the float was adjusted right and all the ports were open by spraying carb cleaner through all of them . I cant hear any vacuum leak and dont think there is any leak because it idles so smooth and quiet when it does run for the short duration. Some one with lots of (experiance) SP? might be able help trouble shoot this for me I hope.
