Ok so I checked all of that and cleaned them. It seems like its getting to much gas and choking its self out. But it runs for a few minutes slowly dies out and will only start back up after it has been sitting for a couple of minutes. Git any other ideas lol.
Thanks Jeremy
Has the catalytic converter been checked to see if it is clogged?
Its not clogged at all. I have also checked the distributor and all of its connections it is getting a spark. Could it be a bad stepper coming off the back of the carb?

Has this Jeep ever run or did you buy it dead and in pieces?

Like I said it runs great and idles but only for aboud 5 min. then dies out and cannot restart till it cools down.
Any chance the distributor got messed with or the wires like cylinder 3 and 4 got mixed up? They cross strange.
When in doubt, the firing order is stamped on the intake manifold on most vehicles, Jeep engines in particular but the order is 1,5,3,6,2,4 in a clockwise order with #1 in the cap normally about 5 or 6:00 with
12:00 at the engine block.Mike

The plugs are all hooked up right and look good.The engine is getting a spark but Im thinking the problem lies in the carb and the plunger.
Have you given it a good cleaning with something like Gumout Jet Spray or Chemtool B12?
The plugs 'can't' look good with the running description you are giving us.
You should look at the plugs once it stalls to see what they look like now, not when you put them in.
Did you have the carb off or apart when you did the head gasket?
