Could It Be Vapor Lock?

The temperature has been over 100 degrees - up to 107 - for weeks in a row. Recently my '92 Delta 88 Royale will work like its trying to start, but still not start. I let it sit awhile, and then it will start fine. Also, it had been "hiccup-ing" (some describe it as "cutting out") while cruising at about 40 to 45 mph.  The price of gas and other financial pressures make it difficult to keep the tank full. So its usually at about 1/4 tank, perpetually. Is that good or bad - or indifferent, perhaps? A mechanic (who did not yet look at it) suggested a new fuel filter. I wondered - I'm thinking this is a vehicle with a carb, not fuel-injected, so is vapor lock a possibility? Thanks for your input.
