check your timing and check all of your wires to make sure you've got good grounds.

My brother has a 68 f100 with the 5.0 swap and his did this, he had his distributor turned too far out. So do as stated above and check your timing.

Also take a can of carb cleaner and spray around the place where the carb bolts to the manifold. See is you got a leak there. Floats could be sticking in your carb. All kind of depends. If it's running then dying. It's most likely a fuel problem. My Corona does that. Idles fine, but then just goes out. The carb needs a rebuild.
