1) It is amazing how hard it is to turn the manual steering wheel

2) It is amazing that I survived with these bad brakes, I kept locking up one wheel..and dragging that wheel to a stop.  I didn't expect much since all I did was break the drums free and bleed the brakes and it has been sitting for 30 years.

3) It is amazing that the engine happened to die close enough to the driveway that I coasted up the slope to the flat spot in front of the garage door.

So, yeah, the engine died...still had oil pressure, temp was maintained around 230 based on metal temp behind the t-stat housing, never went over 231.  I think it is a fuel problem because if I sprayed some starting fluid in the carb she would catch and stubmle a little.

Everything in the entire fuel system is brand new except for the fuel pump and the line bewteen the fuel pump and the carb.  The fuel pump looks newer..I think my grandpa might've replaced it at some time in the last decade.

My biggest fear is that some piece of debri made it up into my newly rebuilt carb.  If that were the case how would I confrim this?  How do I go about clearing a piece of debri in the carb?

Any other ideas?  She drove fine for about 5 minutes of driving (and I had warmed her up completely before leaving) then stumbled and died pretty quick.
