Jim,
After it quits, pull the first plug wire, crank the engine and check for
spark......it'll probably be there but it's a quick check to rule out ignition
problems. Despite the full fuel filter, the filter may actually be clogged
and restricting flow. They are cheap and you should replace it anyway given
the inactivity of the car. If that doesn't help, drop the carb bowls and
check
the carb float valves to be sure they are working okay.....the valves may be
gummed up and not opening far enough or quickly enough to feed fuel after
the car starts.
