Why does my engine die after running 30 mph?
Or does the engine have to be “hot” like after running 30 mph for 1 minute, for it to die. Vapor lock doesn’t happen often on old carb’d low fuel pressure motors. The high pressure and heat in the fuel rails is what causes gas to vaporize, I think. So I don’t think it’s vapor lock.
When does the engine cut off after warm maintenance?

Why does my C3 Vette die at idle?
In Park with the engine running at idle, after it fully warms up, the engine starts having an erratic idle then eventually dies. Then it won’t start until the temp of the engine drops down a bit. So my guess is this is definitely not a vacuum leak, it’s just got to be something with the carb.
