Chris, I had a 1949 that acted as you describe your 39 is doing. A previous owner had the tank sealed, installed a electric fuel pump and rebuilt the carb and mechanical fuel pump. I thought there must be a electrical problem but after replacing the ignition system the problem still existed. I found the problem was in the gas tank. I found several gobs of sealer floating around in the tank. when driving one would get sucked up and block the pick-up tube. After I sat stalled for several minutes the pressure would release and the debris would fall back into the tank only to repeat the problem. Packardtaximan
