Carb is 3310-4 Holley.
Ran flawless for a few yrs until on the way home from work today. Pressure is set at 6lbs.
Died after less than 3 miles! Acted like it was out of gas. There's about 1/2 tank 87octane.
Holley blue with regulator that came with it.

Stuck floats, needle&seat has crossed my mind.

Getting fuel, can't check for spark til tomorrow afternoon.
Dizzy is Accel HEI.

Not being able to check for spark til tomorrow, any tips or am I wasting your time til that can be checked?
Thanks for stopping in....

( edit )
So I am an a$$!!
Just took off the gas cap & shook the car... BARELY any slosh!!
Put a couple gallons in...fired right up!! Gas gauge is way off!!!
Completely forgot it was that far off!!
What a firetruking dipswitch!!
Sorry to bother you guys!!

That's OK, has happened to us all at least once. At least I didn't have to endure being called an a**hole for telling you to make sure there was gas in it!!!
