Indeed. And even if it was a carburated vehicle, the fuel pump is an unlikely culprit, in so far as low pressure goes. Fuel pumps on carburated cars are low pressure mechanical pumps. They either work or they do not.
Personally, I'd be checking the ignition coil(s). Often, when they go bad, the first symptom is a hot engine cutoff. Then, once cooled, they work fine again.
