Went to work on my soon to be acquired 69 GTS today.fuel pump has been changed and we took the 4160 Holley off and put in an accelerator pump diaphragm. Car starts but won't stay running unless you keep tapping the throttle. I think the sock in the tank may be plugged or the carb needs a rebuild! I had my wife write down the fender tag numbers in hopes that you guys can tell me what I have...No cash has exchanged hands until I can drive it onto a trailer! Her's what we got off the tag and there will be some missing numbers...

There's a lot of missing numbers , like the entire bottom line for starters .
How old is the gas in the tank ? I had a similar issue many moons ago , I dumped gas in a tank that I THOUGHT was empty to get my Superbee running before I bought it , turns out the 5 gallons I dumped in was on top of the gas/varnish that was in it already , the bottom of the float was rotten away i discovered later when I pulled the tank ... try running the car from a known clean gas jug running a line from the fuel pump into the jug ...
