IML: Is my '67 about to be stranded? Dies while idling

[Tim Klein <iml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

(Apologies if this is a duplicate posting. Stupid hotel Internet connection...)

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!
