As far as ignition. Does it crank when it dies? Just run a test light to your battery connection on the dist with the ignition on in the run position. If the dist is getting juice I doubt its an ignition problem. Cars need 3 things to run Fuel, Air, and spark. Air is simple, it would be pretty obvious if the top of the carb blocked and check for vacuum leaks. Spark, check what I just mentioned. That leaves fuel which I would bet is the problem. Usually if it's a spark problem it just won't start to begin with. They either get spark or they don't.
