My =E2=80=9966 BJ8 must be unique, then. Although not original, it does =
have a ballast resistor. Also, my 1969 Dodge Charger (built 30 January =
1969 - original owner) has had one from new.

Don`t confuse. There is no ballast resistor in the wiring of any =
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 =
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 used without resistor.

The last 2 shutdown times came when she was idling waiting for a light =
or for a car to pass.

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 * =
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
