I have a 68 Barracuda 318ci. It started cutting out going down the road after about 5 miles. It seems like a fuel problem, not a miss. It only has 600 mi since complete rebuild. Edelbrock thunder series 1805 & Edelbrok fuel pump. Any ideas?????????????
Stumped......

What have you looked at so far? What have you tried?
brand new fuel filter, first thing I changed
Are you using a mechanical fuel pump?
Last year mine was was cutting out it turned out to be the rubber hose from the steel fuel line on the frame to the fuel pump was collapsing and restricting the gas flow.The rubber line was soft replaced with fuel injection rubber line works well now
I checked fuel line from tank to mechanical fuel pump. No leaks, looks fine.

Define cut out. Does it up and die or sputter sputter sputter die? Engine warm? Engine cold?
Flux capacitor .....
Double check electrical connections and grounds.

I see you’ve got a new filter but how is the gas tank?
Low float level, overheating coil?

Points or electronic? If Chrysler electronic, could be the box also.
Get out and puul the gas cap as soon as it stops. Could be the vent tube from the fill neck kinked or plugged up
Check the sock in the tank it may not be letting enough fuel through.
The Brown Duster I am working on. The new fuel pump would not pump fuel at all. It was the arm on the pump was incorrect. Not getting enough travel from the eccentric.
Everything mentioned above also. You need to determine if it is spark or fuel

Correct, you're going to have to troubleshoot it on the side of the road unless you can replicate the issue in your driveway. When it stalls what is not working... spark, gas, engine temp?
It sounds like a fuel problem. If it was electrical it would be back firing like when you do a Key job. The new fuel with ethanol boils real fast. Your floats could be set low. The float does not function properly with boiling fuel. I have seen cars flood when restarting hot. Try pulling the sock off of the tube on the sender in the tank . Also do a vacuum test on the pump inlet while cranking it see if it is working properly If you still have this issue . I have another thing you can try

If it's electronic and has the orange box that could be your trouble as they are junk
