The main relays on these old dogs are known to go bad in hot weather. However, more likely it is the ignition coil. Pull the distributor cap and rotor off and have a look at your ignition coil. If you see an ovular shape on the casing of the coil that looks like its burnt (will look like an oil rainbow on water), the coil is bad. She gets hot and the resistance (which increases with heat) goes too high and breaks the circuit. A good indicator is the car shutting off on hot days, then restarting after it cools a few minutes.
