Sounds like an old truck i had to drive as a kid, one foot one
the brake and the other on the gas.
Learned real quick to keep my fan belt tight.
Maybe if your car is pos-ground there is a bad connection.
Neg ground typw wired car will run with the battery disconnected
if yours is wired this way. CK that gen or alt which ever you use.

Subject: Coil heat and stalling; 2nd request
Hey listers,
Posted this a few days ago with only one response. Any other input for me.
I
hate stalling....
Two things I need input on. I installed Pertronixs' electronic ignition and
their 3 ohm HOT COIL to my sprite. All is well but the coil gets very hot.
I
measured it at 135 degrees. Is this normal?
Stalling dilemma:
I have a stall situation which occurs about one in five stop occasions.
Come
to stop sign put in clutch and revs drop right to zero, stalled. I
installed
new plugs, wires, electr ign and coil. I did not change the cap and rotor
cause they were new less than 1000 miles ago. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David L. Vrba
