Hi Linda,
I'd try a process of elimination. It doesn't appear to be a fuel delivery
fault but assuming the car has an electric pump I'd ensure the tank was
full and then disconnect the pipe from the carbs and pump it out into a can
and from the can back into the tank for a length of time longer than the car
runs for it. You need an assistant to do this unless you have a lot of
cans (well 6.5 gallons worth) or it takes long enough to pump a tank full out
that you meet the criteria of pumping longer than it runs for.
That test will determine whether or not the fuel pump is ceasing to work
when it gets hot. An alternative approach would be to run the engine until
it stops and then remove each float bowl to see if there is still fuel in
them. If they are empty you have a fuel starvation problem and look to the
pump but if they are full it's not a fuel problem and look to the electrics.
Electrical problems often vary with heat such that once the engine and
everything else has warmed up just nicely they play up and you get a miss or a
complete engine shut down. If the problem is coil you tend to get high rpm
faults first - engine will not rev or misses at high rpm. The condensor,
rotor arm and distributor cap or sometimes more than one of them can cause
the problem your car is experiencing. Do you have a good USED condensor,
rotor arm and distributor cap you can try? Don't just rush out and buy new
because some of the new parts are no good except for those RED rotor arms
which you ought to buy anyway.
Generally fuel problems are rare and really obvious but ignition problems
are common and not really obvious.
Finally, it looks like you have an aftermarket moto-lita steering wheel
that someone has made a boss insert for so that you have have the Bugeye
lightning flash horn push.

I see she is getting fuel now.
