Have you tried messing with the carb? Is the distributor holding the timing?

How long does the car usually run fine for before it starts to trip out?

thats weird that a carb motor is doing that.. if you hold it down long enough, does it stay on once its warmed up? or regardless of how long its on, it always shuts off when you let off the gas?
