Best guess from data supplied:
#1. Carburetor needs to be rebuilt.
#2. Distributor shaft bearings bad.
#3. Ignition coil bad.
#4. Ignition points/condenser bad.
#5. Distributor Cap/rotor bad.
#6. Bad fuel.
#7. Plugged fuel filter.

If the engine is high miles, it may have low compression = need to be rebuilt.
