Just got a 1955 1st series with a 235 ci engine a few weeks ago. I was driving it the other day and the car stalled while trying to drive up the hill up to my house. I restarted and got it up the hill but it really felt like it was not going to make it. Its weird because last week it went up the hill easy. Any ideas what might be causing this. Can it be the choke or carburetor? Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks

fuel pump might not be pumping strong enough [worn actuator arm] or the float level isn't right

I was thinking of that. There are two fuel filters on this engine. A glass one and a plastic inline one. I will try to change both and see what happens.
