I have a 73 2.0 (original fuel injection no mods other than newer stereo and fatter tires) and was heading out to a Car Show/BBQ with my main squeeze and the engine was just humming along beautifully at around 3400/3600 RPM and it just died, no warning, tach went to zero and there I was, stranded on the side of the highway. Up til now the car ran beautiful, I went on a couple of long trips last summer trouble free which built up my confidence in the reliability of my car, any ideas about what happened much appreciated. The teener is at a friends farm about 45 minutes from where I live, I was doing the tow rope method with my daughter driving her mothers car and me in the teener and it was pretty nerve racking as she had difficulty maintaining a steady pace and I was getting worried about all the tow rope jerks damaging the car so I didn't tow it all the way home. Could it be the points??
