Most Electric Ranges are plugged into a 50 A breaker for good reason. When everything is turned on it will likely draw more than 30 A. The first step is to find the rating plate on your range and see the current rating. If great than 24 A you shouldn't use 30 A breaker. Make sure connection wire is sized for the correct amperage.

How to tell if 1964 240 V stove plug is tripping the circuit breaker or is the circuit breaker bad?
To determine if the stove plug is tripping the circuit breaker, plug the stove into a different outlet with the same voltage rating. If it doesn't trip the breaker, the issue may be with the original outlet or circuit. If the stove still trips the breaker, it may be a problem with the stove itself. If the circuit breaker seems problematic, consult an electrician to diagnose and fix the issue.
Is an outlet plug that says gfci on it but doesn't have a reset button really a gfci outlet?
It depends. It could be improperly installed. Outlets can be GFI protected by using a GFI rated breaker in the main panel box. Look for a breaker in the panel box that has a push to test button on it. Press the push to test button then plug something into the outlet to see if it still works. If the breaker turns off the power then it is GFI protected. To reset it flip the breaker to the fully of position then back to the on position.

How do you convert a 4 plate stove which uses a circuit breaker to a wall plug?
You still need a circuit breaker. From your question it appears your stove is hardwired to the panel. It is perfectly acceptable to connect it to a suitably specified outlet and plug for the voltage and amperes for the stove. Basically you would turn off the breaker, install an outlet on the floor or wall so as not to interfere with stove. You can buy cords with the proper plugs and mating receptacles in most any hardware store. For an electric stove with an oven you are usually talking about a 50A breaker and the corresponding outlet and plug. This can be dangerous and if you are not sure of what you are doing an electrician is highly recommended.
