10/73 FJ40 stock everything engine except for a Pertronix Ignitor. Finally got it going after a couple-o-years and with choke half on and idling fast it just dies after 45 seconds/a minute or so. Flat shuts off. + term on coils stays hot, - term flashing then slowly slowly fades to off as it dies, 12v constant to idle stop solenoid even after it dies. Coil (non-resistor) not getting hot, no errant smells. Timing light hooked to coil lead flashes until it dies. Starts back up but only after much cranking and pumping accelerator pedal. Engines only need fuel, fire, and air in the right amounts and at the right time to run. When engines run out of fuel they generally sputter and miss before they die, not just shut off like a switch.
Any sage advice would be greatly appreciated.
What am I missing???
