Sounds like a bad fuel pump.

   Don't have any ethanol in my gas. Never use the stuff. Lucky to have
   good
   gas where I live. I will check my ground. All my hoses are original
   except
   water. Have looked at my hoses but will take them off and check that
   way
   also. Will also check that brake hose.A  Have changed the coil and no
   change.
   It doesn't sputter. It just shuts down. If I feather the gas I can keep
   it
   running. Don't know about checking the float level on the Autolite. Can
   do
   it on the Holleys on my Birds. I had the carb rebuilt a few years ago
   and it
   ran ok of quite a while. I have a lot to check. So I will get back to
   you
   guys latter with an update. Thanks
