My engine runs good when cold, at normal temp the engine shuts down and takes 30 minutes or so to cool down for a restart. Replased, carb, plugs,
cables, pump, distribitor, plugs, battery, new ignition box from MSD, new coil. Some times it will run OK for weeks and then back to shut down. Reading some of your answers from other cars problem, you will most likely tell me to change the Ignition switch.
Please give me a answer. Thank you for your time.

If it has a tach, check the wire, it could be intermittently grounding.
