Looking over the wiring for the 78 GL (as far as Haynes has it), the components that would fit with your 2 minutes of running followed by not running at all well are the warm-up regulator and the auxiliary air valve.
But...if either one of those is off, you'd think it would cause tough starting followed by running fine after warming up.
Have you checked your ignition coil before and after warmup to see if the resistance of the coil is changing with heat? If memory serves, there have been coil failures where the spark is initially strong but becomes weak after the coil gets warm.
Wild guessing...
