Don`t confuse. There is no ballast resistor in the wiring of any=20
Austin-Healey. Ballst resistors in coil wiring were invented in the 1970s.
The coil should have 3 Ohm primary resistance.

Sounds like a faulty coil or a bad/broken wire somewhere. Also check the=20
engine earth strap and battery switch and connections. What coil have you=

fitted. If the ballast resistor (wire) is still in place it should be a 12V=

ca. 1,5 Ohm coil to be used with a resistor or a 12V ca. 3Ohm coil to be=20
used without resistor.

Was our driving a while back, engine purring, and suddenly she shut

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). =20
=20
The last 2 shutdown times came when she was idling waiting for a light
or for a car to pass.
=20
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 *=
=20
replaced the distributor rotor *Replaced the distributor cap . *
checked the small ground wire inside the 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.

Thanks
