Methinks then, therein lies the problem. If we could get the esteemed Mr. Notton in on this, he might be able to shed some light on the matter. I'll only touch on it briefly, because I am far from expert:
First of all, the Ford 6V electrical system is SHIT, especially with aging components. It's actually running about 4 1/2 volts if memory serves me correctly. There are others here who can expound of the vagaries of this system far better than I, and I shall leave it to them to elaborate.
Secondly, with carriers especially, but all Ford 239s in general, the fuel begins to boil and vaporize in the lines once the engine gets warm. The mechanical fuel pump just isn't up to the task... and here's where Mr. Notton should join in. Right off the bat, remove your engine covers to ensure maximum convection cooling... that will help. But consider an electrical fuel pump...
I look forward to the input of those who have far more expertise than I. We WILL solve your problem!
