Welcome to the forums! 66 is a nice year! You should have alot of fun with it.
As for your problem it could be alot of things, maybe the fuel line or fuel filter might be needed. What kind of a set up does it have? Also for alot more replys on your year I would post your problem at the Classic mustang forum too, might get some good feedback there.

Where you stat you live in and might we see the sexy lady? (the car that is 8-) )

Wecome!!! I love the 66 mustangs. They rule. You will see me in the Classic mustang forums.

Hard to tell why you stall out? Are you getting gas to the carb?

Wow...You guys were a huge help.

Have you had the carb apart? Thats the first thing I would look into. Get a rebuild kit and start there. If it's been sitting for 10 years, I'm guessing the jets are clogged solid.

If it starts and runs...Then all it needs is a little carb cleaning or adjustment.

Yeah...Those are the only ones I'm any good with. I can always make a carb'd motor run.

Welcome to the house!
have you changed the fuel filters, the one in line between the fuel pump and the carb and the one at the inlet to the carb where the fuel line connects to it?? I would start here and see what this does for you first.
Did the main fuel line from the gas tank to the fuel pump get replaced when the tank was changed out?? could be it is very rusty inside and partially plugged also. might want to try taking it loose at both ends and blowing it out good with compressed air to see that it is not plugged up also.

Thanks for all the helpful hints. From what I know, I'm pretty sure the Carb has been rebuilt. my uncle worked on the car for a few months to get it running. Everything in the stang is stock. I'm gunna try a carb flush and a tune up. I'll check out the fuel pump as well. Thanks alot everyone. I'll also post pics of her
