Here's my take on it. Fuel usually doesn't cause an abrupt engine die, but electrical can, so I think its an electrical problem.
-You had the distributor apart so lets look there first.
-Engine dies when you just touch the gas, not when you step on it..
-When you just touch the gas, the vacuum advance will move the plate slightly. I'm guessing one of the connectors in the HEI modules is loose or corroded. When you were working on the advance etc, you disturbed this connection and now each time the advance moves the assembly, it causes this connection to open. When you step on it, the advance moves further and then connector moves quickly past the intermittent connection point.

Open the distributor and check the connections on the HEI module. make sure they are clean, tight and well seated.

Just my 2cents from a guy that spends all day troubleshoot "it doesn't work" problems.
