Default 350 with Edelbrock 600 keeps stalling

[/B]Need help from anyone experienced with engines. Took the car to my favorite great mechanic shop and he tuned the carb so that it would pass the emmissions test for CO. It did passed. But on the way back, it started to keep stalling like it was out of gas. But it wasn't. Stopped at his shop and we checked the sight gas filter.....it was empty. So he replaced the fuel pump and he road tested it and then I brought it home (2-3 miles). Ran great! Took my wife for our first ride since getting this 73 vette. Just got about 1 mile and it started all over again....... feeling like it was out of fuel. Checked the tank.....over half full, just like the gauge said. The sight fuel filter was full. Tried to restart and it would run, just barely and would not rev up. If I tried to rev it up, it would die. Anyone have any solutions or ideas? All is welcomed. Email me directly if you can. Thanks
Jim
