Engine stumbles after driving in traffic...
... At 20mph for 10 minutes. Not particularly warm out. Feels like not getting enough fuel. Time for an electric fuel pump? ‘65 356C

Maybe time to measure the fuel pressure. (Fuel pump diaphrams are easier and more reliable than additional fuel pumps.)

Check your jets. I had a similar problem. One of my jets was clogged. Cleared the jet and now the car runs well.

Start with a full tune up then go from there.
1965 356C 2000 BMW 740i Sport 1967 Honda CL77 There is never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over.

And as part of the full tune up measure your float levels and injection pump output.
