No fuel!
I've been fighting a fuel issue on my son's 82 F100. I have cleaned out the tank,replaced all the rubber lines,new inline fuel filter,new fuel pump, carb has a rebuilt sicker on it and is fairly new. I also cleaned out the hard line and the Dura-Spark box is new.
If i rev the engine for a short while it cuts out like fuel starvation. I think I need to see if there is any thing obstructing the needle or float. When I drive on the road it runs great if the revs are low. Get on the highway and you are lucky to see 50 mph.
Thoughts?

Don`t trust that the carb was rebuilt PROPERLY.Pull the carb,get a kit for it.Check to make sure that the FLOAT LEVEL is correct.Too many times I have seen so called rebuilt carbs have wrong jets.floats too low or high,wrong power valves.You name it,its` been wrong.
