I'm thinking along the lines of something with the ignition, be it a bad coil, incorrect wiring, timing, or in that area.

Another thought is a vacuum leak which is causing a gross lean condition.

The initial rough running as it started is an indicator, and THAT sounds like ignition to me.

I'm going to try to swing by there over the next week and take a look, bring a spare coil, and do a few checks. Thinking of isolating the ignition by going directly to the batt, and a new coil, leaving everything else disconnected. Will remove all the vacuum lines and plug them too.
