First you need to find out, if its an ignition or fuel problem. When engine=

starved, check if you have sparks at the spark plugs.
In case you have sparks, its a fuel problem. Otherwise an ignition problem.

Was our driving a while back, engine purring, and suddenly she shut down. =
=20
Let it sit for a while and she would start and run for a while--then shut=
=20
down again. I tried many fixes which I will list below. Several times=20
after the fixes she went for miles and miles and I thought I had "fixed"=20
it. Nope-----yesterday----it was AAA tow time once again (3 times this=20
year). =20
=20
The last 2 shutdown times came when she was idling waiting for a light or=
=20
for a car to pass.
=20
So here is what I have tried: * new coil * new voltage regulator * new=
=20
fuel pump * New ignition switch * Blew out the fuel lines * pulled float=
=20
bowls and cleaned them (no debris inside) * Pulled the distributor plate=
=20
out and cleaned and oiled it * disconnected the wire leading from the=20
battery cutoff switch to the coil. * bypassed the entire battery cutoff=20
switch * replaced the Pertronix with a new one * checked all the sparkplug=
=20
wires to make sure they were on properly * replaced the distributor rotor=
=20
*Replaced the distributor cap . * checked the small ground wire inside the=
=20
distributor to make sure it was attached properly.
=20
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.
