The Ford Barn

I'm new here so give a little time to get up to speed. I recently purchased a 41 Tudor Sedan, it has suprised me at every turn. Can of worms type things.

Any way, I have (had) the engine running. Had hot spark and good starting. Now I have a very weak spark at the plug and she just won't start. This is the second stock coil, the first one was the one that came on the car, it failed completly. Dist, has new points set at .014, new rotor, wires and plugs. I started it yesterday, it ran for a few minutes, I gave it some throttle and it started to run rough, then shut donw. Will not restart. I had some excess fuel showing around the carb but I don' see how that affects the fire. Any one have any ideas? Also, what was the standard power valve in the 41 Ford/Holly 94s?

Kinda long winded here but I do need help.
