After rechecking everything, she started right up so I drove downtown and
she died again. So I just installed a new coil in hopes that it might be the
problem. In the process of putting in the new coil I was reading the paper
that came with the Pertronix. It says "The ohm reading must be 1.5 ohms or
greater for six and eight cylinder engines and 3.0 ohms or greater for four
cylinder engines. Since I had a Flamethrower 3.0 coil on the car, might that
have been the problem and it burned out something? If so it ran for several
years that way. Cheers, JL
