Default 351 Cleveland starts strong then dies...

New member here,I have a 71 Mach1 351 Cleveland with a Holley 600 carb. The car will start strong and idle at about 1000 RPM then after a few minutes starts to “stumble” then it will eventually die. It will start back a few times but runs less time till eventually it won’t start at all. Then after a day or so it will repeat the process. New distributor, new plugs...any ideas ? I will caveat that I have a only basic mechanical skills...

You might be having a fuel issue. Could be pulling in debris from the tank and clogging the lines up.
