It has to be the fuel pump or supply line. You are running out of gas!!! I would check to make sure the fuel filter is installed with the flow in the right direction. Pull your dipstick, is it overfilled? If so does it smell like gasoline, alot of times when a mechanical pump fails it will leak into the crankcase. Yes brand new components fail. It is possilbe the pump is loosing its prime, line kinked, hose kinked, something in the tank blocking the pick up (unlikely since it not directly on the bottom). Next time it stalls out, poor a little gas in the carb and see if it fires, if it does you have a fuel problem not an engine problem. Be very carefull you do not catch the car on fire and stand back from carb when starting!!
