1970 Other Chrysler Models V8 Automatic 71500 miles

I have given the car a complete tune up in the last month; carburetor, disributor, oil change, fuel filter, pcv valve, plugs and wires. The car was running the best it has since I got it. The other day I was doing a gas milage test and all of a sudden the engine power cut out and eventually died out. I tried starting it back up but the power was too weak and died out again. What could this be.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Thank you for the donation.

When you mentioned the power was weak, do you mean the battery, coil or starter?

Did you check the CB points and ignition timing? Any test done on the ignition coil?
