Most likely it's either a fuel or ignition problem, determine which.
If it happens again,

-to check for fuel,remove air cleaner, work throttle while looking in the primaries to see if the acc pump squirts fuel

-to check for spark, pull coil wire from dist cap, hold it close (1/4")to the valve cover while someone tries to start it

This will get you started with the diagnosis.

As far as that coil, nothing wrong with it, I ran one in the '70s/'80s, although it may be incompatible with the MSD and overheating.
But I'm getting ahead of myself, first find out if it's fuel or spark.
