Car won't start, car is parked in lot and cannot start Options

[solex]

Hi there my car is stranded in a lot fortunately in walking distance to my house.

Symptoms are that it seems to start and run fin when cold about 10-15 minutes. It will then stall and then I cannot start the car. It does not smell like it is flood (actually cannot smell any fuel) The last time this happened it sat over night and then it started with no problems.

I just changed the points although I do not think that was the problem I had never seen points that were not completely solid contact area the ones installed had a hole in the center so I replaced them.

Thanks,
Dan

make sure all the fuses and relays on the relay board in the drivers side engine bay are clean and making good contact. When it doesn't start can you hear the fuel pump run for a second or two when you turn the key? Listen carefully you should hear the pump when you turn the key to the on position just before you crank the engine. Check the elec connections at the fuel pump. If it is still loc at the rear under the car on the passenger side, consider relocating it to the front. Auto atlanta has a kit for this. I did it to my 73. you may be getting vapor lock but it sounds unlikely. Good luck, Joe
