356ci Engine Stalls

I have a 47 Custom Super Eight Clipper in overall good condition. (356ci engine was replaced in 1950. Valve job done a few years ago.) Lately, the engine stalls as I prepare to stop. It will crank back up pretty well & sometimes attempts to recrank on it's own, I've noticed! It has a modern 3 way switch installed on dash, left of steering wheel. I tried adjusting idle speed up by 1/4 but that had no effect. Not long ago, oil bath filter was dripping oil on distributor wires, also. Not sure if any connection there though?

Thanks very much for your wise counsel!
