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 |

Looked as though I had two problems. (1) the fuel pump relay needed some cleaning put a little CRC and some light steel wool and car started.
(2) as I was starting the battery voltage was dropping below 10 volts. I recharged the battery and purchased a battery tender (the battery was sitting for over 2 months prior). No problems to-date it has been a little more then a month and the car runs great. The battery is also in great shape the tender is always in the green. Thank you all for your assistance. Regards, Dan |
