79 rx7 won't stay on
So, I haven't been on here in a long time. I lost my 1st rx7 about a year ago. Finally have a new one. Bought it not running. Would not even turn over. Determined the carb was bad. I now have a new one and the car will turn over, but as soon as I let the key return back from the start position it dies immediately. Any insight would be great. Also it's fed emmisions. Not sure if that matters.
Thanks!
Thanks!

So do you think it could be as simple as the distributor cap and rotor? My thinking is when you turn the key to the start position it's drawing all 12v of power from the battery. When you let it turn back it's not drawing that much. So if the contacts in the Cao and rotor poor, it might not be enough power after it turns back to spark? What do yall think?
