Before you go out on a test run I suggest you purchase a can of =E2=80=9CDr=
y-Gas=E2=80=9D. =C2=A0If the car shuts down again then add the Dry-Gas and =
drive on to see if the problem re-occurs.
=C2=A0
The problem may be water in the gas tank either from condensation or from t=
he underground fuel tanks at your gas station. This has happened to me a fe=
w times over the past 50+ years of ownership with the same symptoms you des=
cribed.
=C2=A0
Good luck!

Since having the car towed home I have checked all connections in the ignit=

wo pieces were very tight.=C2=A0 I have let her run in the garage for long =
periods of time and she has not shut down again so I haven't been able to c=
heck spark.=C2=A0
=C2=A0
When it did shut down, it wouldn't take long before she would start again t=
hen shut down.=C2=A0 Then start, then shut down.=C2=A0=C2=A0
=C2=A0
I know my trial and error method wasn't the best approach, but without bein=

=C2=A0
=C2=A0
Tell me if my analysis is correct on this.=C2=A0 I thought it might be a fu=

here--also pulled and cleaned the carbs.=C2=A0 If the float bowl jets were =
stuck in a closed position it would get no gas and eventually shut down---b=
ut---both would have to stick so each carb wouldn't get gas.=C2=A0 this see=
ms like an unlikely condition.
=C2=A0
If they were stock in the open position it would be dumping gas out of the =
overflow tubes---so, again, unlikely since it would still run.=C2=A0 I have=
already changed fuel filter and blew out the line.=C2=A0 The pump pumps no=
