   Do you remember the part # for the coil with the built in resistor? I can't seem to find one anywhere!

We got it started and it ran for a good 20 minutes then started sputtering but not stalling out. My Dad got in and put it in reverse to back it out of the garage and it died and now it won't start again. I think he is going to get a new carburetor

hey ricky , 
you are not alone , nor are you going crazy ...i had exactly the same thing on my 232...it started perfect, ran perfect for 10mins then started to splutter carry on like a guy who has drunk way to much jd...
wot i did 
rebuilt carby, changed gaskets , removed all smog pump gear, replaced fuel pump, checked for vacumm leaks in the wiper motor , checked the lifters to see if it had any leakin, checked rebuilt vacumm advance on dizzy , replaced dizzy cap points ,plugs , condensor leads, coil.......the car still ran perfect for 10mins then slputtered and died......... the sumone here said check yhe coil ....checked the coil, again....and bugger me the car had been fitted  originally with the incorrect coil.. when i replaced the coil i replaced with the same type of coil .....in short my car needed a coil with a built in restistor ,  i had replaced the coil that needs a resistor in the harness .. , i fitted a new coil with a built in restistor BINGO  no more problems car runs perfect!!
good luck mate
