IML: My '67 needs help idling after warm start




I'm currently on the road in my '67 far from home (posting this from a hotel room in Bentonville, Arkansas), and the Imperial has developed a new problem. So far it hasn't left me stranded, but I figured I'd better post here now, in case it does get that bad before I make it home...

I'm finding that if I start the engine after it's good and warm (from driving), it won't stay running unless I keep my foot on the gas a little. And even then, as I'm slowly driving out of whatever parking lot I'm in, it hesitates a bit, acting as if it's barely getting enough fuel.

But... starting up cold is no problem. And once I get on the road, it's fine. And after it's been up to speed for a while, I don't have to keep my foot on the gas while idling at a red light. In other words, the problem (so far) happens only upon restarting the car while the engine is still warm.

Fuel pump problem, maybe? For a '67, is that one of those blessed parts that's actually easy to find in retail auto parts shops? (Even if so, I doubt I'm up to replacing it myself.)

Thanks for any advice!
