Need to check to see if power is getting back to the fuel pump. A test light is handy to do this. I may just be the fuel pump relay.

Check the fuel pressure at the engine. Maybe also go ahead and replace the fuel filter.

So many possibilities, including a heat-related interruption in distributor! Weird but common problem back then.
