Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Will drive car and at times it suddenly stops pumping fuel to carbuerator, wait about half hour and retry and car starts like nothing happened, doesn't always do this. Had oil pressure switch replaced, replaced fuel pump three times, had carbuerator rebuilt. Checked connections to fuel pump their ok. Don't know what else to check or do ???????? Any suggestions out there ? ? ? ?
