Default help with 76

I have a 76, 350 4 speed. Problem with losing all power after about an hour driving time. Car just shuts off. No power steering, engine shuts off, dead. wait a few minutes, starts right up..I have changed the modular in distributor, replaced gas tank, fuel sending unit,and still it seems when car engine gets hot, it dies.
I am in the FT. Lauderdale areaand could use some help.

Check fuel filter. Could be fuel related. Check line for possible obstruction. Just a guess. Good luck
