 Good that the fuel pump is working, but unless you think the carbs could use a good 'once-over', I don't think the problem is there. 

That leaves ignition and an old coil could be the culprit as could a simple loose wire.  You could look for something obvious and replace all of the typical items (plugs, wires, rotor, cap and coil).  Beyond that, tracing down all the wires (including the seat-belt interlock) could prove difficult and time consuming.

Carry an extra spark-plug with you.  Next time it happens, pull off #1 wire and lay the attached spare plug on the intake manifold.  Have someone crank the car and see if you have spark.
