Is there a strong smell of gasoline when this happens? Could be a stuck needle valve. When cold, Spray some Carb cleaner while reving engine but don't overdo it.

In my 1953 3800 I have a 57 235. Of late when I drive it, it will crank and run well, idles nicely, etc. I may run 20 minutes or so, arrive somewhere, park, etc. When I return, it may or may not crank back to life easily, but it will crank, then the trouble inevitably begins. Get underway, and in short order looses power, and stalls while running, and then is difficult if not impossible to re-start. It is like it is loosing spark. Let it sit overnight, it cranks right up like nothing happened. Obviously heat related? Fuel pump is OK. Any suggestions? Thanks much in advance!
