Engine loses power, dies, but restarts in a minute, Diagnosis help please? Options

Happens when idling or driving. After 5-10 minutes, the engine loses all power, stepping on gas pedal does nothing. Engine dies. Restarts like nothing in wrong in 10 to 60 seconds and runs great for another 10 minutes.

74 1.8 L-Jet. Bosch 2 port updated fuel pump. Just getting it back on the road after being under a cover for 3 years. It had old gas, which I drained and replaced. New fuel filter after new fuel. The fuel pump was replaced 4 years ago, but only about 1000 miles on it. Old gas was, however pumped through it. I just replaced the fuel filter again, thinking it might be clogging up from the lines being rinsed with the new gas, but it made no difference.

Ideas Please?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I had a Volvo P1800 that had very similar issues. Turns out the fuel line in the fuel tank would suck in debris from the fuel tank and fuel flow would stop. The debris would then fall away from the intake in the fuel tank and fuel flow would resume. Once I figured out the problem, I pulled the fuel tank, cleaned the fuel tank and put the fuel tank back in. Problem solved. In my mind, your issue is a definite fuel delivery problem. Good luck. If you don’t already have stainless steel fuel lines, if you pull the fuel tank, this would be a good time to put them in.
