Trouble Shooting 318

Hello. I have a 1968 Plymouth Satellite with a 318. The motor starts after several cranks. It runs for a few minutes and stops. It will do this after each crank... the motor has a rebuilt carb and new fuel filter. a What should I look for to solve this problem?

How does it run once started? Unevenly? Does it pop? Why was the carb put on? You should maybe start looking for vacume leaks...

a vacuum leak is a good place to start at. also, is the carb adjust properly? Was the fuel filter installed in the proper direction?

When I installed a fuel cell in my jeep i had the same problem, turned out to be the fuel filler was installed backwards.
