Need advice, 70 Mustang 428SCJ

Finally resolved my issue. Carb came with a micron style inlet screen, which was replaced twice thinking it was blocked. Once I finally nailed down the fuel was emptying every time, I removed the sock on the sender, changed all spring clamps to hose clamps thinking i might be sucking air, no change. So I finally poked a hole in the micron screen and finally got to drive it without it running out of fuel. Put a rock screen back in it and no issues. Who would have thought the micron screen supplied with the carb direct from holley, would be too restrictive to keep the carb fed? Its stupid crap like this I hate. Now I can finally finished this nightmare up and get it delivered. Thanks for everyones help. I appreciate it.

That's just crazy! As delivered and engineered by Holley... and I know you checked the sinistered bronze filter before finding this. Who woulda thought! I guess that's why a lot of the old school hot rodders always pulled those and the micron screens out of the inlets and put a filter in-line? Glad you figured it out Mike!

I was close, is there a prize?

Glad you got it fixed, it's frustrating beating your head off the wall with no logical explanation to the problem you are having.

I had already looked there, the problem is the idiots at Holley.
