Default Re: 1967 305e V6 Fuel Pump

After some rest, I went ahead and bought an Edelbrock 17301 Fuel Pump and wired it to switched power. Tested pressure - right around 5.8psi, so it should be in the sweet spot for my Holley 4412 carb on my 305e V6. Started and ran fine, but died about a mile from home, just barely after the engine had gotten warm.
It started back after about 30 minutes and drove home, but it died after pulling into my driveway. This has me frustrated and stumped.
Tested spark plugs with inline light - all plugs are firing. Gas is getting to carb and float level is near perfect (at the bottom of the side weep hole). When I get it to start, I do so by putting the accelerator to the floor and it will idle for 2 or 3 minutes before dying again.
Spark, fuel, and air - I seem to have all three of these. so I don't know what else to check. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
