It may be a case of vapor lock in this heat.
Next time it happens, remove the gas cap.
If you hear a rapid rush of air, the vented cap is clogged.
If you do not get a rush of air or vacuum, Maybe just a tune up or
points adjustment.
I didn't pay too close attention to your car when you pulled in but I
would have heard a burnt valve for sure. I doubt you have valve
troubles.
You told me you took the Thermostat out, did you put in a blanking
plate?
If not, there is your overheating problems. Pick up a 160* stat from
anywhere, it is a common t/stat that fits 80% of cars from the 40s-70s.
