i'm with allan, the first thing is to rebuild that old carb, this one is easy there's just not that much in there, important you will need the carb number to get the right kit, if it is a holley its stamped up and down on the float bowl, if not remove the carb, drain it, plug the holes in the intake manifold with clean rags!!! [ dont ask lol] and take it with you to the parts store, find the old fella in there , the kid at the counter may have never seen a carburetor, [ long but true story] the biggest thing is get it clean after you dissassemble it, soak it in carb cleaner or if you have a old buddy with a garage- pre fuel injection era -he probably has one of the handy old carb cleaning tanks that rotate the parts in the cleaning solution, then rinse it off and blow out all the passages, before you reassemble it, the best carb kit out there wont fix a plugged passage inside the carb, the pffft is probably just the air coming back out the carb, when it stalls out the engine will usually backspin a little,thats a nice straight old ford for its age and the carb kit isnt much money, fix it up and you'll have a keeper
