George,
There is another ignition failure mode that's intermittent, but I don't
think it's your problem. You may want to note it for future reference.
High ambient temperature operation, any speed, the engine shuts off, as if
you'd turned the key off. Do NOT change the fuel pump first, like I did
George,
are you certain your float level is set to spec? and that the float valves
open and there are no dead spiders in there (don't ask why I would check
there, but I found a dead one inside the valve once. sounds like low/no
fuel. do the accel pump jets squirt fuel when you open the throttle?
No black smoke.
Mike Boerner suggested it might be the float. I'll be checking that tonight.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
George

George, how did the exhaust look? Were you getting any black smoke with
the car under load? I just wonder if your ignition system has troubles
other than spark timing.

away or when I started driving.
Now I tried going up my driveway with with advance, no advance/retard and w/
retard.
