My 72 C20 has a 350 with a quadrajet and has developed an intermitent problem. It stalls periodically after it has gotten good and warmed up. It never seems to happen from the time I start it to 15-20 minutes of driving. After that, it will randomly start sputtering and die. After this happens, it will start back up again with no problem after it has sat for a minute or two and I can drive it fine for a few more minutes and then it happens all over again. I just recently rebuilt the carb and everything seemed to go fine. All the adjustments on the carb seem fine and I just checked dwell and timing which was also fine. Has anyone else ever experienced something similar?
