  1. On these older cars where everything is not handled by a computer there is one relatively good easy way to diagnose whether the problem is ignition or fuel related if the car dies while driving. If the problem is related to fuel issues the dying happens gradually where you can feel the power going south whether it takes 0.2 seconds or 1 second but you can definately feel the power reduced before it disappears completely. If the problem is related to ignition the dying happens in an instantenous on/off manner like cutting with a knife. All power 100% there until there suddenly is none. Of course there are exceptions but if you need a first guess. If the power goes up/down repeatedly then there is just more instances to take note whether there is a clear cut or gradual kind of behaviour. Unfortunately it sounds you were not on the gaspedal when it died so maybe you did not get a good feel of which way of dying it did.
