Default Re: Erratic problem

I had a problem that it similar to what you describe. The truck is is also a 41 and converted to 12V. It would start and run fine for a while. Then run like crap and quit. What I found was a bad wire and loose connection at the input side of the ballast resistor. This is with a Mallory breakerless ignition and a can type coil that needs the resistor. There were actually two problems going on at the same time. The bad connection and a dirty tank. It kept me hunting for a while.
