Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. After blowing out the line from the new tank to the new fuel pump again, the engine stays running now. I drove it around the block with no problem stalling out. However, it does have a misfire. So now it's on to the plugs, plug wires, etc. I plan to install Pertronix too. It's a work in progress!
