1980 F150 Stalling BAD...
Some history its a 1980 F150 W/ 302, manual tranny, carb... The truck was running great. One day i started losing fuel and i found a series of small holes in the gas tank. I replaced the gas tank, sending unit, fuel filter, fuel pump... While i had it in my garage I also replaced the distributer, cap, rotor, plugs, air filter, replaced the leaking valve gaskets, etc. my problem now is the truck will start fine, drive a few miles down the road, and than will lose power and stall... I have since put in another tank and pump... checked the filter... checked the lines... cleaned and adjusted the carb... pump dry gas in the tank to absorb any possible water... gas treatment... checked for vacuum leaks... etc. I cannot find anything that will fix this problem... Any ideas would be greatly accepted.
Thanks,
aw

I wonder if you have debris in the fuel system.
Sounds like the old gas tank rotted out and debris may be partially clogging the fuel lines, etc.
If there are any vent pipes/hoses, are they hooked up?
