It ran great for @400 miles on a run from Raleigh, NC to just North of 
Caryville, TN in the New Years Eve subzero weather, then quit.  Would 
fade and then rev back up (until it didn't anymore). Probably a 
combination of fuel pump, bad fuel, coil, and voltage regulator issues. 
Man was it cold on that mountain waiting for AAA!
