Does sound a little like vapor lock.
Make sure your fuel line is well away from the exhaust manifold, or shielded properly. Winter gas is more volatile than summer gas - so ... otherwise I'd say it's a little too cold yet for that problem.
But easy enough to see if your gas line is near the exhaust.
Hard to guess what else on a 73 without knowing more. How good are the plug wires? Points? How old is the coil?
If the ignition parts are all relatively new and solid, I'd think about cleaning out the carb thoroughly.
A problem like that's tough because it sounds like there's a pattern. But probably not enough of one to be sure. Does it ALWAYS run rough after stopping it - or did it just happen to run rough a few times after stopping it.
Getting the engine wet through rain or puddles could cause it if it's got bad plug wires - but you might not have yet made that connection to the times it has happened.
