If it is quitting while running, and quite hot, and there is still fuel going to the engine (no vapour lock) then my money is on the coil. They will work when cold, and not once they heat up. Is yours the distributer with the coil right on the distributor?
Those are a tough (and expensive) coil to find these days. Options are to install one of the adapter plates and relocate the coil to the top of the engine, or to change to the later distributor with the coil located on top of the engine.
A similar coil is readily available for the 9N tractor. I saw them the other day right on the shelf at the local TCS store. I may try to adapt one of these onto the early V8 distributr. Seems to me a sheet metal adapter plate could possible be made to adapt it.
