I'd vote for the pinhole leak somewhere in the fuel line between tank and fuel pump. The tiniest hole that won't even show up as a damp spot will cause starvation under load. That logic includes the flex hose between the steel line and the pump ,also the flared fitting where the steel line goes into the tank. After having fought similar battles too many times most every car that comes through here for waking up after a long sleep gets a new fuel line.

V8 Packards are not prone to vapor lock as a rule.
