Default poor sparking, causing rich condition choking engine to death

maybe.
Check distributor, plugs, wires, coils, and ground strap(s) especially.
Then alternator, seems less likely though(?)

If electrical diagnosis fails to reveal anything, then maybe it's not choking but starving (which IMO would exhibit different symptoms), - check for vacuum leaks everywhere.

/\/\ engine'll throw codes for broken knock sensors as well, but they are easy to check visually

Default Maybe your distributor gear is starting to go.

Or how are your wires, mine did some weird things when it was arcing to the intake. Thats easy to check in the dark by looking for little sparks jumping. HTH

Default CPS

looking through my bills the original owner broke down and it turned out to be the cam position sensor.
