Per earlier post, picked up from shop today. Drove to work, running great. Driving home, running great although I notice volts reading less than 12v, temp gauge not working.
Almost home, a few blocks away. Going down hill. Huh, did engine cut out. Why, yes it has. Turn key. It cranks but no start. As if no spark or no fuel. Coil feels quite hot if that matters. By side of road now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

i would suspect coil as well. when cool the windindings are contracted and provide some continuity, when they get hot, they expand. if there is a break in the winding, you lose spark. after 40 years of heat cycling, it is not uncommon. also check for leaks from the coil, if they get real hot, they will leak. another indication the coil has packed up. good luck
