Our Ohio weather has been a bit on the hot side recently (>90!) and I
've started to notice my '51 TD's missing pretty badly after 20 minutes
on the road.  It's never a problem when the outside temp is <80 
degrees. It's now 800 miles into it's rebuild. My mechanic suggested
vapor lock but a friend thought it sounded like coil overheating.
Question #1-- What aare the symptoms of a dying coil and could this be
it?  Question #2-- Is there any easy remedy if it is vapor locking? I
have a 100 mile trip coming up in 7 days and am afraid I'll have to back
out at the last minute if the weather is too hot. Help!!
