Hey guys-
My wife's daily driver fury w/ the slant 6 is acting up. The other day it started a new problem- it stalls and won't stay running (unless you hold the gas down) after it's warmed up. When it's been sitting cold, you can hit the key and it starts right up and runs fine (you can even drive it for a few minutes normally). As it warms up, you can feel it start sputtering or missing, and it dies.
This is a no-mods daily driver. Slant 6, holly 1910 1-barrel, points ignition. Any ideas?
It has a clear fuel filter, and I can see gas in it, but that's as far as I've looked yet. I also shot some carb cleaner in it (no help)

Check the curb idle screw, it may be set too low to keep it running. Check your float level while you are at it. Im willing to bet that your cold idle adjustment is good, but as it comes off of the cold idle circuit the curb idle is too low and she will die which is why you need to give it a little bit of pedal to stay running.
