1980 200sx died... need some help..!

Car died on the highway, no sputtering or anything just quit. i reved it a little high about 30 seconds before. all the plugs have spark, i checked the fuel filter and pump. it turns over fine, and after it sits for a while, it seems to almost want to start up for half a second. does anyone have any ideas?

how do your plugs look, have they been in there a while? My 180 did something similar once, ran fine until it got warm then died, plugs were kaput.

plugs are new, changed out the plugs, wires, distributor and rotor cap a few days before...

ok different car different problem but just as weird. I had a car that ran fine but when it hit operating temps died, it was a vacuum leak. Check all your hoses. this is a strange one though
