Hi, any help would be appreciate it! My 74 Corvette stalls when engine is hot? Example, I drive it for about 20 minutes locally in 80 degree weather and then turn off engine and sits for about an hour. I get into the car and start to drive, then the engine starts to shake slightly while at traffice light and all of a sudden it cuts off while in motion. I try to start it again and pump the gas pedal many times and bearly got it started again which engine shakes quite a bit. It continues to shake and dies down again after few miles. But in the morning when engine is cold it seems to drive fine. Can anyone help me?

When was it last major tune-up?

Could be a choke adjustment problem or vacuum leak and A/F mixture and Curb idle adjustment. Check the PCV and EGR valves.

Won't hurt to check the fuel pump pressure-fuel filter okay?
