Need Help With 63 f100

Finally finished my 63 f100. Drove it home from the shop and it was running fine, went to fire it up last saturday to cruise on a nice day, and it wouldnt start. Got it to start off ether, but just idled high for a second then died. Im thinking clogged fuel filter or something along those lines, just would like a second opinion before spending much more money. I doubt its in timing as i timed the distributor to the NO. 1 cylinder and ran it on a stand after building the motor, and it ran fine on the way home from the shop. But I know these old 292's are notorious for timing issues.Hoping to get this fixed by April 14th as that is the day of my senior prom. been building this truck for 4 years in hopes that id be able to drive her for my senior prom, now that its here, im gonna be pretty upset if this issue holds me back! Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Stay Cool
