I've found that running a 1.5 ohm coil, with direct 12V, will cause a similar problem.
Unless it's puffing out black smoke, when it runs, I don't think it can be the carb.

You are right. Not the carbs. Took all three carbs apart and found nothing that might cause flooding. All floats set correctly. Main jets all firmly seated. All power valves seated and little pop-ups working freely. Not entirely a waste of time. I did find and fix one leaking main jet plug, and all carb bases with risers really needed tightening.
Again, after the carb check, it ran at fast idle a little roughly, would not wind up with throttle; started hesitating, then after about five minutes just quit. No black smoke, new plugs not black or wet.
I am running a brand new Bosch blue coil which I measured as having very close to 1.5 Ohms. That should not need any other resistor, right?
When I set up the new distributor, I put on a new condenser. Could that cause it to run rough and die.
The spark from the coil wire is blue and will jump almost half and inch when cranking, but it looks a little thin and puny. And it seems erratic when cranking, like it is not sparking every cylinder.
Suggestions?
