I would check for a bad coil. Classic symptoms of a coil opening/shorting after getting warm/hot. dw

Bad Coil and or Condenser. Send them to Skip Haney. He advertises in V8 Times.

I had a problem with my 6-Volt alternator. It was not putting out enough Amps. So the car ran poorly. Have it checked out .
