I battled this for nearly a year on my car. You could idle and rev it in the garage and no problems. But once you started moving, the sloshing gas would stir up all the rust and debris in the tank and it would clog the pickup tube.

Once the car was shut off, the debris would float away from the pickup, and it would start again.

When I did my car, new tanks were not available. So I ended up having my tank media blasted and a coating baked on (Renu process). I followed that up my adding a fuel filter back near the tank, and an electric booster pump (only used for priming and vapor lock conditions). Since then, no fuel delivery problems. And the filter has stayed sparkling clean.

You've also mentioned that the problem happens when the car is hot. Is the fuel pump heat shield in place? Could be a vapor lock type condition. Alot of cars I have seen have had their heat shields misplaced over the years.
