This truck has been sitting for about 3 years. I recently replaced the distributor, coil pack, rotor, plugs and wires. The truck will start and run in park until it reaches operating temp then it stalls. I installed an inline fuel filter and replaced the filter in the carberator. The inline fuel filter does not fill up with fuel after reaching temp. What could the problem be?

I came back to edit but you beat me to the vapor locking symptom-If it is best make sure you shield it away from the heat-also do a vacuum and delivery tests.
