Yeah I could check the ones under the truck Southcity, the lines to the carb are all new. I may even have to go with what cdowns suggested and check the tank out.

Plenty of fuel in there Frenchblue.

Thing is when I give it some from standing starts and smoke the tires it all goes good, the occasions when this has happened have all been when I was already rollin, I put the pedal to the floor the trany kicks down and it builds up speed and the revs climb, then all of a sudden it dies it feels like it runs the carb dry.
