spark issues

HI! all new here, the wife when for gas and camp.she forgot to put the cap back on, was raining all weekend. back home it was running bad, 3 days after sitting still, was starting (turning) but not running. Water in gas tank. empty all of it. changed fuel filter blead the line. noticed the fuel pump was leaking around the cup. changed the fuel pump.cleaned out gas and water in float. Now when new gas got in it, started run and died, changed ballast resistor, No luck. noticed a green wire from the ballast was cut. fixed it. then noticed they accelerator pump not pushing gas in, ordered new carb. and replaced it with old gasket from the previous, changed control module. coil. she starts run for 10 min. then stop. run fine start cold, 1979 doge b100 318 2bbl
