Changed out a lot as well as other local mechanics but
some of these locals are idiots. Wires plugs rotor timed

Well the clue your giving me would be once the engine warms up it want to cut out on you and you have to let it sit. When this does this check to see if there is spark, to know if this is a spark issue. I was thinking the ignition control module, the box on the fender. I'm not sure if anybody can test that old of ICM. See if there is spark when this happens again.
