Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1950 f1 idle keeps dying, 1950 ford f1, classictrucks

Question
I have a 1950 ford f1 and it starts up but when idling it dies.

Answer
Keith,
 Assuming you have the original Holley 94 carb that came with the flathead V-8 this year, it probably needs cleaning, adjusting or rebuilding.  See the tech article here:
