Engine dies under load

Engine dies under load
My 81 RX-7 looses power and dies as soon as I start up a hill or an incline. This is after the engine is warm and has been driven a few miles. It will restart after a few attempts, but does this every time I drive it.
Any Ideas?

check timing
getto check compression, sequentially take bottom spark plugs out and hand crank listen for 3 even whooooshes - do this for front and back rotors,
look for a part that will by expansion due to heat cause a big vacuum leak
fuel level in float bowls 1/2 way at sight glass?
check all the basics - filters,plugs.wires,dist. cap, on and on
thats a start
let us know what you find
