This is a good possibility, but, usually if there's an ignition =
problem, the car quits all together without warning. What do you mean, =
exactly, by "running poorly'? Did it sputter, bog, or lunge when you =
pressed the accelerator? If you can remember, this kind of info can =
really help in determining whether it's an ignition problem, or a fuel =
problem.

Subject: Bad Coil ?
Last night while crossing the Dumbarton bridge my BGT stated to run =
poorly and when I looked down at the gauges the tach was =
fluctuating=20
wildly. The car quit running just after clearing the bridge. I =
did=20
the customary laying of hand, check connections of sparkplug and =
coil=20
wires, look under distributor cap. The car then started and ran =
fine.=20
The tach read correctly as well.

Because the tach picks up off the coil, I wonder about the coil. =
It=20
is one of those Lucus sport coils less than 18 monthes old.

Any thoughts?
