I'm just about done buiding the car and took my 1st gen for a test drive. It starts fine but does not want to run for more than a minute or even less unless I stay on the gas pretty hard and even then it loses power and will die most times. The fuel is about in the middle of the float level sight glass on both bowls. It got hot real quick and the header was glowing red hot.

The motor came out of my last car and was running fine right up to when I hit a wall. It has sat on a stand in my garage for the last 17 months. Does this sould like a lean condition or what could it be?
