Are you certain there was no spark? The symptom is exactly like the trouble
I had with my '51 M38 ... I could drive a block or two and then the power
just disappeared suddenly and the engine died. Sat beside the road for a few
minutes and then it would start again.
It turned out to be fuel lines were full of rust particles - the engine could
draw fuel thru them for a few minutes but as they packed up it finally was
too restricted to suck through. Let the vehicle sit a awhile and then it
could draw fuel again for a short time. I replaced the fuel lines, filter,
and cleaned and coated the inside of the tank (where the rust was coming
from).
