360 problems

I have a 1975 ford f-250 high boy and the previous owner parked it and left it there for 16 years so i got it from him and i am fixing it up. i rebuilt the carburater and it was running good then the fuel pump went out so i got a new one and put it on and it started up. I was driving it and it died on me and wouldnt start so i took the fuel line off and had somebody crank it and no fuel came out. So i put some fuel in the carb to try to start it and it took a few trys doing this but it finally ran and it did this to me again. Does anybody know y it is?

a f-250 should have a 390 with a 4bbl. is that what this is? first thing to do is pull the hose off where it connects to the carb then hookup a pressure gauge to the line crank it over and see if you have fuel pressure if so you know it is then in the carb. most likely a stuck valve.

did the engine stall like it ran out of gas? or did you shut it off and now there is no fuel in the carb.

or if not put the end of the hose in a bottle and crank and see if you get flow. the motorcraft 2150 carb is prone to the needle and seat sticking, did you replace them?
