Jeff-
This does sound like fuel starvation. Have you replaced all the
fuel filters? ( again?)
As a diagnostic, how 'bout putting a small pressure gauge ( ie 0-10
psi) at the carb fuel intake, and see what it says the next time the car
gags...
Remote chance: I do not know how the evaporative control system is
set up in your car,
but is there any chance at all that the fuel tank is seeing a
partial vacuum as the gas is being drawn out? Strangely enough, last
weekend a buddy and I got stranded in his boat, as he had forgotten to
open the fuel vent on the tank, and the brand new Honda outboard ( big 'un)
sucked out as much fuel as the pump could draw, and then stopped completely.
Collapsed the tank severely!
Good Luck

: TR6 Carb Problem?
country side late at night and suddenly the car died. It acted as if it
were starving for fuel. It would start and then fall on its face when I
pushed the gas pedel down. I could drive only about 100 yards before it
would quit. Restart and then another 100 yards.
