on a recent jaunt in my 1955 dodge m-43 it kept stalling at
intersections
and took a long time to start up again much to the annoyance of the
traffic
waiting behind me.i'm assuming it was flooding somehow because it did
restart after a ten minute wait.could it be my fuel pump,which was
covered
in oil or a sticky float valve in the carb? i eventually made it home
allright.so before i act on my own diagnosis of the problem i just
thought
i'd ask some of you experts out there.
much appreciated.

p.s. the choke was in and sparkplugs and battery are fine.
