sounds like you need get the timing set, go thru the ignition and making sure what you have is good and in working order, plugs, points, wire's, cap rotor, good grounds etc etc. then if you still are having trouble check the condition of the carbs maybe it's time for a rebuild.

If this repeats itself after a cooling off. ie runs ok for 1/2 hour then stalls etc. I would check the fuel pump and fuel filter.
