Before you go out on a test run I suggest you purchase a can of =
=E2=80=9CDry-Gas=E2=80=9D. If the car shuts down again then add the =
Dry-Gas and drive on to see if the problem re-occurs.
=20
The problem may be water in the gas tank either from condensation or =
from the underground fuel tanks at your gas station. This has happened =
to me a few times over the past 50+ years of ownership with the same =
symptoms you described.
=20
Good luck!

Subject: update on shutdown issue
=20
Since having the car towed home I have checked all connections in the =
ignition system, pulled the distributor base plate out and cleaned =
it--the the two pieces were very tight. 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 check spark.=20
=20
When it did shut down, it wouldn't take long before she would start =
again then shut down. Then start, then shut down. =20
=20
I know my trial and error method wasn't the best approach, but without =
being able to check spark it seemed appropriate to change out =
components. =20
=20
Tell me if my analysis is correct on this. I thought it might be a fuel =
supply issue. So---I pulled the float bowl covers and all was ok =
there--also pulled and cleaned the carbs. If the float bowl jets were =
stuck in a closed position it would get no gas and eventually shut =
down---but---both would have to stick so each carb wouldn't get gas. =
this seems like an unlikely condition.
=20
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. I =
have already changed fuel filter and blew out the line. The pump pumps =
normally and each time I pulled the float bowl caps, they have been full =
of gas. So--I have basically ruled out fuel starvation as a cause. =20
=20
in the garage she sits and purrs forever with no shutdown------so, as I =
mentioned, I can't ch spark
