Need Help: Car Starts cold and then konks out and restart takes forever.....

Basics..........compression, spark, fuel

Immediately after it "conks out" check the spark. Get yourself prepared so you can do this immediately. Get a "rig" a solid core wire for the dist. and a spark gap. Check spark USING THE KEY to crank

Look down the carb throat, look for good solid streams out of the accelerator pump nozzles

^^and as above^^ might be flooded. Consider pulling a plug, check for gas fouliing
