If the engine is actually firing when the switch ii in the 'start' position and it dies when you release the switch to the 'run' position, the problem could be the ignition ballast resistor - usually mounted on the firewall. The ballast is a white ceramic rectangle with wires connecting to it

1-3-5-7 are on the drivers side

Below is a diagram with firing order. Arrow on the distributor cap indicates direction of engine rotation.

check your firing order and how the engine rotates and distributor

Firing Orders NOTE: To avoid confusion, remove and tag the spark plug wires one at a time, for replacement.
If a distributor is not keyed for installation with only one orientation, it could have been removed and installed improperly and then rewired. The new wiring arrangement would maintain the correct firing order, but could change the relative placement of the plug towers in relation to the engine. For this reason it is imperative that you label all wires before disconnecting any of them. Also, before removal, compare the current wiring with the accompanying illustrations. If the current wiring does not match, make notes of the current plug wire locations and orientation of the distributor cap.
