[Ernie Vitucci]

Good afternoon...You might also wish to check to see if the nuts on the back of your amp meter and on your ignition switch are snug...if loose, a miss can occur and the spark from the loose wire can short to the gas tank. Snug things up and put some tape on the fuel tank so the spark can't jump. Also if you have the original pop out ignition, wiggle the cable when the engine is running and see if it runs rough or quits. Pop-outs can short to the inside of the covering cable...also just patiently check all of your clamped connections to see if one has worked loose. Look carefully at the distributor body for a crack...if you run the car at night, you might see a spark escaping from a crack in the body...it happened to me 40 some years ago...it made me say bad words as I had to drive from Newport Beach to Santa Ana to get a new one in those days...damn near did not make it. However the new/used/old stock distributor fixed the problem...also a little holly water on the radiator cap can't hurt. Ernie in Arizona
