I have 55 bird stock 292 automatic, mummert intake, 415 Holley,Petronix ignition,MSD box and coil. Taylor wires,new plugs gapped properly. Ford Powertrain Headers. I took the bird out for a performance check ride today and all was well. Cruises like a new car and everything was in limits and working as it should . Until I got home. After about 30 minute drive I pulled into driveway and slowed while the garage door opened and car started to stumble while at idle . It eventually stalled. Tried to start car ,nothing. It usually restarts easily if started right away. Not this time. Tried 2 times . Held foot to floor and after about 10 seconds it fired up and acted up stumbled and stalled . Re-start was as bad as the first. Finally got it inside and began to inspect .  I removed float bowl check port for fuel level. Could not tell how much was in there but the float was bouncing up and down as I pushed it. Operated throttle by hand and fuel came out in a good stream on both sides . A few minor leaks from loose screws and nothing more. I didnt notice till today that my vacuum line is connected to a vacuum port on the passenger side of the carb. I am not so sure thats the correct place. When the car does run it runs great on the road and as it gets warm/er it starts to stumble. Idle speed is set at 700-800 RPM. Couldnt find anything outstanding so i drove it again and this time I help the accelerator down a bit to help it keep running. As I pulled into garage it stalled again. Engine temp was  around 170. So, I ask do I need my phillips or common screwdriver to start with? As always your assistance is appreciated .
