It sounds as though you have the original FoCoMo carb. The hose that crosses over goes to the deceleration valve and is part of the exhaust emission control system. If this hose is blocked the engine will return to idle faster when you take your foot off the accelerator pedal. If the vacuum hoses between the carb., water temp pickup and the vacuum regulator on the distributor have also been removed then you have no emission control. A possible cause for you engine cutting out can be that the capacitor at the points is failing or that the fuel strainer mounted in the float valve may be blocked. Both of these would allow the engine to start again after 10 to 20 minutes. Check these before replacing more expensive parts.
Good Luck Anders OZ
