Was our driving a while back, engine purring, and suddenly she shut down. Let
it sit for a while and she would start and run for a while--then shut down
again. I tried many fixes which I will list below. Several times after the
fixes she went for miles and miles and I thought I had "fixed" it.
Nope-----yesterday----it was AAA tow time once again (3 times this year).
The last 2 shutdown times came when she was idling waiting for a light or for a
car to pass.
So here is what I have tried: * new coil * new voltage regulator * new fuel
pump * New ignition switch * Blew out the fuel lines * pulled float bowls and
cleaned them (no debris inside) * Pulled the distributor plate out and cleaned
and oiled it * disconnected the wire leading from the battery cutoff switch to
the coil. * bypassed the entire battery cutoff switch * replaced the Pertronix
with a new one * checked all the sparkplug wires to make sure they were on
properly * replaced the distributor rotor *Replaced the distributor cap . *
checked the small ground wire inside the distributor to make sure it was
attached properly.
All this----and STILL o joy. I'm really out of ideas at this point. If anyone
has any ideas for me to check please share them.
Thanks
Tom
