I second Victor's theory. My 67 would sputter, flutter and sometimes die,
seemingly for no reason, until I was jiggling wires in frustration one day
and found that spade connector on the distributor loose. Squeezed er down
and prob went away.

Subject: engine cutting out
I'm trying to get the old "honeymoon" roadster on the road and have come up
against a strange problem. car sits there idling fine, then all of a sudden
it dies just like no spark at all. just before reaching terminal
non-velocity, sputters and catches and runs fine again until the next time
it happens. seems to happen more often under load. what's the consensus-
condenser maybe? have checked to see if any vacuum buildup in gas tank,
that's not the problem. fuel bowl shows fuel at all times, so not passing
clots thru the fuel system. electrical stuff tends to leave me guessing.
high beams aren't working either. maybe that's in the switch on the column.
any input appreciated.
