I just bought what I think is 1963 ford 4000 4cyl gas . It ran great when I was looking at it and I drove it home about a mile down the road and now it starts but won't stay running acts like it ran out of gas . Can anyone help
 
Do some simple trouble shooting

#1 Check that it has a good blue/white spark at the center wire of the distributor cap and at all 4 plug wires that will jump a 1/4 inch gap or more. If you have that

#2 pull the carb drain plug and make sure you have a good steady flow of gas that will fill a pint jar in less then 3 minutes. If do not have that work your way back to find where the flow stops
