I'm hoping that someone else with a 75 2.0 can chime in and tell me what is missing here. Is there a screw that fell out? Look at the pic, about an inch from the tip of the screwdriver in the pic. The engine will barely start and won't stay on. Its sputtering and wanting to die.
Thanks for your help! Attached thumbnail(s)

I ended up doing two things to it yesterday, so let's just say that it was one of the two that solved the issue here. I swapped out the ignition switch, which was found to be cracked (see pic). I then also installed a Pertronix II that I had recently bought from Brad Mayeur (914 Limited). The points looked okay, but I can honestly say that the car runs the best it's ever run and now has a consistent idle to it too. The car runs beautifully, and that's with the platinum plugs still on. I'm going to order NGK's tomorrow though and swap out the Platinums.
Thanks everyone for all of your advice. Greatly appreciated!!! Attached thumbnail(s)
