The issue sounds like vapor lock, The temperature in the engine compartment is so high that the gasoline is turning to vapor in the gas line. There are not many options available in your situation except to travel at night when the temperature is lower. The problem is compounded by gasoline that has ethanol in it. A fuel pump that has low pressure can contribute to it and some people are able to control the return line pressure to help this.

put a test light on the ground wire to a 12v power source and see if the pump is grounded properly

Most likely a bad connector on relay or the fuel sock needs to be replaced. if the sock is plugged it would cause the fuel pump to work hard and cause it to heat the relay and make it hot and removing it will cause it not to run. check the connectors to the relay see if they are opened up in the female socket if they are use a dental pick to close them up with. otherwise replace fuel pump and sock at that age with the alcohol in fuel it's killed the pump and sock.

It's got all the symptoms of a leak in the fuel line. You may want to start backward at the tank and work your way all the way to the carb to find it but it would be surprising if it was something else. All the best.

Does the speedometer work? If no, then it sounds like the output shaft speed sensor. If yes then it might be the input shaft speed sensor.
