The fuel filter could be plugged. Check to see if you are getting fuel to the engine compartment by using the fuel pressure valve. It looks like an oversized tire stem, and will be located near the fuel delivery system in the fuel line.

your power starts at the brake light fuse,check with a test light,then proceed to stop light switch on brake pedal under dash,one wire will be hot when when you check it with your test light, the other won't be until you press down the brake pedal then the power flows through to the second wire,if no power to second wire replace switch,if you have power remove tail light bulbs and check for power in side socket.

I am working on one right now with the same problem, when I figure it out I will post.. I am guessing the fuel dampener/pulsator which is loacted on the fuel pump assembly.

shorted wiring most likely at the tank

check the coolant sensor, check for possible fuel filter clogged.

Clogged fuel pick-up in the tank?

when its in that not running stage or it dies you need to try and shoot a little starting fluid or gasoline into the throttle body or air cleaner and try and start it again .. If it starts then we know you have a fuel pump going out .. and its in the gas tank .. thanks Jerry and holler if you need more..

did you test the distributor?

fuel filter could have picked up garbage in the tank
