My 1970 914-4 with factory
I'm pretty sure that this has to be a loose connection or a wire that has worn through the insulation and is grounding occasionally. In order to make it easier to find, the question I have is what component would cause such a behavior? Knowing that might make it easier to track down where the problem is coming from. Any ideas? I want to put this back on the road for the Rt66 Classic in March. |

Your the best, Ron. I always seem to forget about Brad's site.
I don't remember you having any issues at RRC. I guess I was having too much fun with JimTab's expired Pertronix! |

As we left for the Saturday run, I made it 3 blocks before it quit ..... spent most of the day trying to find you "F"ers .... found you just in time to see Firewaters' car give up on top of the mountain. |
