Logjam,

I vote fuel system... Just as HH56 said, start at the gas cap and work your way to the engine.

Gotta check the cap, pickup, fuel line, fuel filter, fuel pump and lastly, the caurb.

I had a '67 442 Olds that did the same thing. After much consternation, I figured it out it was a little tiny chunk of crap that would randomly float over one of the jets... The car would stall, suction would stop and the chunk would float off to lurk nearby for the next cycle...

No easy way to do it, a lot of attention to detail but that's one of the things I (we) like about these old cars.

Good Luck!

Scott
