I think you have water in your tank.  when you go up the hill…well
you can guess.
        get 2 bottles of isopropal rubbing alchol or just dry gas-

-i think dri gas mis cheaper and run it through with a full tank

of gas.  You also will have to change the fuel filter.
        It’s the silver can in the fuel line–somewhere between the

fuel pump and the carb–on your year i think there are 3 lines-in,out,
and 1 to the charcoal canister.  replace the filter, run 2 bottles
of dri gas through, and stop buying gas at cheep stations–even ammaco
and shell have stations who have water in the tanks.  did the problem
start after a fill??
good luck.
