Austin-Healey 3000 - Stalling problem

Help. My 67 BJ8 3000 starts beautifully, runs great--until after about 20 minutes of running, at which point, at the next stop sign, it'll idle down to nothing and stall. Can't be restarted for about ten or fifteen minutes. I replaced a broken vacuum connector and thought that would resolve the problem, but no such luck. Ideas?

We need more info,,,,, Pull the plugs when it stalls out,,,, their condition (color) will give you an idea of what is wrong...

Try replacing or testing the coil.

Check the fuel filters (strainers) wherefuel lines enter carb. float chambers. Also filter at pump, if you have one. Generally, fuel starvation is a little slower to die than electrical. Bob BJ-8 #25809 Phase 1.
