Dead on roadside!

My wife and I drove my '90 SPG to the Raleigh-Durham, NC area to visit family over the holidays, and my "Project Saab" did fine. But it died just three miles into the return trip on Saturday: the engine cut off fairly abruptly (just a brief stumble, then nothing). If I waited several minutes before attempting restart, two or three cylinders might fire, but nothing beyond that -- no restart possible. Since I had to be back in Tennessee for work this week, and no Saab shop was going to be open to Tuesday, I had it towed to a (hopefully) good shop in Durham -- left it on their doorstep with a note, as it were.
I'm tempted to believe it's a fuel-feed problem; I suspect the fuel pump. What other possible causes are there?
