Had the same problem a last month, turned ou to be an air leak in the fuel line where it came out of the tank. Then two weeks ago the same symptoms occured to a 39 Coupe on the Sentimental Tour in Texas. It was an air leak at the glass sight bowl on the 47 style fuel pump. Air will fool you. Check it out.

Thanks 1934 ford. I think I have narrow it down to a stop up gas line. went for a ride on easter after fiddleing with everthing in the fuel dept. and it ran just like new then I put some gas in it as soon as i pulled out it started cutting out again and then ran great for the next 5 mi's. so I ordered a new gas line from tank to fire wall and a flex line to fuel pump. son of 19

While you wait for the new line, you should clean your old one out with air pressure (Low pressure) by disconnecting it at the fuel pump and blowing air from the tank into a glass jar. If it's not dirty, blow the other way to get crud away from the pickup in the tank. Then drive it. If it does it again, you may be sucking air. After I did every thing you and I and others have suggested I took the Stomberg apart and cleaned it with Gumout.(the cheap imtation won't do it) I Found no visable dirt, but the clean carb made another big difference in how it ran. I think the new gas fouls the jets and starves the engine of enough gas. I hope you find your problem before you have to replace the line. That's a hard job on a creeper.
