1976 Dodge Sportsman Help

I also had similar issue with my 76’ Minnie Winnie 20’. Spent $3k on the mechanical parts to get it all good. But it kept completely dying after driving 7-10 miles. Had put new 2 Barrell Hollie Carb on it because it had warped over the years along the bottom and gaskets weren’t sealing it up from sucking air. So I had it gone over by my mechanic front to back top to bottom and fix everything he saw that was going or was gone. He said the ceramic wire junction connectors can cause multiple issues so I should get some to keep on hand. Starter was a beast but someone had at some point drilled an hole through it to put an 8” long cotter pin through it to keep the stator up instead of having it rebuild or replacing it. Even dropped the gas tank and had it emptied and cleaned after putting see foam in it. The gas was like molasses. Ended up my actual distributor was bad. It rare that the bottom of it goes bad but it had. It was catching when tried to go in to higher gears on the coil and burning it up.
