Bill,
It sounds like the screen attached to the end of the pickup pipe within 
the tank itself may be plugging up. While the car is at rest the 
sediment settles to the bottom of the tank. So the car runs good until 
enough sediment collects on the screen to block fuel flow and the 
missing begins.

You could drain the fuel and drop the tank. You can empty what remains 
into a coffee can and see the amount of sediment. If there is a lot, it 
means the tank is rusting out. The choice is then use one of the kits 
offered by various suppliers to clean and seal the tank (not the best 
solution) or purchase a new steel or aluminum tank depending on how much 
green stuff you want to spend..
