I have a 64 impala and recently took it out of storage. She started right up to get to my house with no problems, mind you it was only 1 mile from my house. Cleaned her up and on the way to the car show she went dead after about 10 min. Towed her back to the house and let her sit. She fired right back up but only runs for about 2 min, and shuts off again. Any suggestions would be great!

Best thing to do her eis to check your ignition sytem. You could have soemthing loose or touching someplace where it's not suppoed to. Also check your ohms in the coiil as that may be going bad. Same thing with fuel filter-rpelace that and check pressure and flow. It also may be the carb has kin dof screwed up due to the alcohol in the gas that wasn't there before. The alcohol wreaks havoc with the stuff in the carb as well as the fuel pump.
