My 1952 F1 all stock---starts and runs great---except after running and setting for 10-15 minute it will start right up-- then after about 150 yards it starts to buck and then dies. I have an electric fuel pump booster and if I catch it soon enough it will keep on going. If it does shut down I hit the elec. pump for a few seconds and it will take right off. All the connections in the fuel system are tight, so I don't think the system is pulling air into it. So is it vapor lock?? I use the cheaper gas, would premium gas help??? Are there additives that would help? This truck usually runs beautifullly, but pulling into traffic after a brief shutdown and blocking traffic is getting old. @%!@)/> Thanks JR
