Exclamation i have HAD IT with this truck!! still randomly dies...

Alright I made a thread a week or so ago about my truck randomly dying on me, so i lowered the floats on my new 780CFM quick fuel carb to the proper level, new plugs, new wires, new ignition switch, took out a kill switch under the dash and just eliminated it thinking the switch was bad. IT RAN GREAT for 3-4 hours tonight, perfectly FINE! then all of a sudden it started dying on me at random times a couple miles from home, it would start right back up, every time, and run for a few minutes and die while driving, I'd pull over and fire it back up, it did this about 4 times.

this last time it died, I pulled over started it up, drove 100 yards and it died again, and now it just cranks and cranks, I'm getting fuel to the carb. there's fuel in the line. it has a new clear fuel filter and its CLEAN as a whistle!

WHAT IN THE HECK is causing this thing to die? I've eliminated any misfires, and fuel issues, its got a MECHANICAL pump so if it were bad it would've ran terribly.

one thing I've read is that it could be the Ignition Control module??

any idea on how hard it is to replace? and where it is located. i have HEI ignition as well. its a late 60's 417 block but I'd assumed the ICM would be the same location as a SBC?

I'm about ready to just let the damn truck sit and ROT
