Check the polarity of the poles on the coil. If you've changed the car's 
polarity, this could have been missed. If wrong, the car will run for a 
while, but will burn out the points/condensor quickly.

The other possibility is fuel starvation, which would only manifest itself at 
cruising speeds. This could be caused by either incorrect float levels in the 
carbs, or a faulty diaphram in the fuel pump.

Good luck,
