help with 1989 SPG...please...

Hi, I am having some troubles.
On rainy days (happened once when not rainy, but maybe rained sometime during the night),
after anywhere from 1 to 25 minutes of driving, my 1989 spg loses engine power until I have to pull over, then the engine dies. If I wait a 5-10 minutes, it starts up no problem and I drive off. This has happened about 5 times in the last 30 days. When it is dying and I am on the highway going @65, I can hear the bypass/or whatever that valve is called do its normal thing as I step on the gas, but it seems that I am getting no fuel, so the engine slowly gets worse and then dies out. I thought electrical because of this occurring when it is wet out, but I feel it may be a fuel problem because of the slow dying, then quick startup if I give it a 5-10 minute rest. Are there two fuel filters? Maybe the hard to get to one which I am sure has never been changed, is clogged ?
Thanks for any help!!!
