Car runs, gets hot, then dies. Cant restart until cooler.

I replaced the fuel filter already. It's an electronic ignition. I thought the gap was .008? Either way, that's the only thing I have not done. I checked the spark from the spark plug wire, grounded it and still no spark after it dies. I changed my coil (Accel 8140) and put in a blaster 2 from MSD and it still gets super hot; as does the ECU. I don't have an orange box, just stock. I started to take off some of the electrical tape going from the coil, distributor and ECU and found a couple of shotty splices. Bottom line, it starts and runs, then gets to operating temp, and starts to shut off. I try to keep it alive by pushing the throttle on carb, but she still dies.
