The carb is running out of gas. What did you do for a fuel system?

That's only one tiny piece of the "system".

Check for crusty buildup in the line in the tank; the sock that is in there; the rubber line at the tank collapsing, or has a hole in it; etc. etc. etc.

Of course, if this was a FI car and the in-tank pump is still there, that could also be the restriction.
