I would check both sides of the fence, electrical and fuel, just to be sure.
When it dies, does it smell of unburned gas?  After 20 minutes the car would
have reached operating temperature, but mebbe your temp sensor is shot and
the ECU thinks it's still cold, therefore running full rich?

Also check your plug wires and primary coil wire, dizzy cap and rotor.  And
check resistance of the coil _after_ it reaches operating temp, if it is
original that puppy has been heat soaked thousands of times.

HTH.
