after all that work

[b0mbtrack]

i had this problem posted previously but couldn't find the post.
I got a cruisader v-8 carbed 4 barrel. not sure the year.
after about 40 minutes the starb. engine will begin to stall and i have to keep it at about 2000 to keep it able to run. If i shut the engine down and let it sit for about a half hour it will run good again. Thought it was a fuel problem so i had the carb rebuilt, changed all filters, replaced all fuel lines, made sure vent was clear, and replaced the fuel pump. after all that it still is doing the same thing after about 40 minutes or so of running it.
I know that electric components can begin to break down after an engine warms up but at 40 minutes of running the engine has already been warm for a very long time so i didn't think that would be a problem.

It's not fuel related if sitting for a ? hour fixes it.
Swap your coils, sbd to pt and try it again.

Not true - If it has a fuel screen/filter sock in the fuel line that is getting clogged, it may take a while of sitting, for everything to settle, to unblock the clog.

Ditto what Dante said above... I had exactly these symptoms from a clogged fuel intake strainer. Finally had to remove and clean the fuel tank. Not saying it's what's wrong in this case, just that it may be a possibility.

Hook a gauge up in your fuel system as explained in the link below. Then go for a test run till your problem occures, then look at the gauge when the engine is starting to die.
