Pretty common for people to replace the lean burn ECU with a regular one, especially performance aplications for that era - but I'm not sure your problem is related to that. Is there a filter on the carb that could be plugged ? If the pressure to the carb is okay, then I don't think anything is shutting down the fuel supply.

Glad you found the problem. I think the orange mopar ECU is a direct replacement for your lean burn igniton; there's a chrome one too for performance motors pulling lots of revs. Might find the ECU in the junkyard too.
