I noticed the same thing last summer with our '66 Chevelle that has a carburated 496. It would sometimes want to die after sitting at a stop light for a while. I had some vapor lock problems years ago, but thought I had it taken care of ( Insulated carb spacer, insulated fuel lines ). I'll have to try some additives once the weather warms up to see if this makes a difference.

Thanks for the info.
