Hello everyone,
Frustrated as can be here... experiencing an intermittent
ignition/running engine problem: Occasionally the car starts, but after
a few minutes running it stalls and dies. Can't start it again for
another 20 minutes or so. I thought it was vapor lock, but fuel flows
freely. And so I began a series of diagnositics to no avail.
Check the carbs - fuel in the bowls, jets working - ok
Check the fuel pump - flowing, and pumps when cranking - ok.
Pull plugs - check gap, inspected mix (rich/lean), and cleaned -ok.
Wires - inspected spark and replaced with new wires - ok.
Battery - replaced with brand new, negative ground - ok.
Distributor - Pertronix installed (may be problem*** - tech support no
help
- ordered points to convert back. Unit is 16U-12v, D-57 2, D-25)
Coil - ok (using Lucas Sport; swapped with another - no difference).
There is a unit between the ignition switch and coil - believe it is a
relay for the ignition switch assembly.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Corey
