383' shuts off' issues, I tried praying, no luck

had the truck running with the whole top of the carb OFF and it’s not starving for fuel when it shuts off (note* Coolest thing I have ever done with a carb}.
Pretty brave but could have been the hottest thing you've done with one. Good thing it didn't backfire on ya'.

Any cables/wires heating up, battery, alternator, etc?
