I took it out last week and gave my friend the time of his 10 year old life, then, it all started.

It runs great in the garage but as soon as I pull out on the street that Damn car dies out on me!

I have changed condensor, tightened battery cables, sanded area where ground strap bolts to transmission, ran a rubber mount off of bellhousing for main power wire, checked points, checked timing, sprayed carb cleaner to find vacuum leak, inspected ignition switch and wires near. Before this drama I did change out the fan blade and waterpump. I have the headlight wires disconnected with tape covering the ends but I can''t see how that would be an issue as the light switch isn't on.

OOPS, LOSES POWER ,NOT LOSSES POWER!!

This car is about to earn a for sale sign!!!
