have you checked,,the veracity of the spark--as a bad coil,,will do the same thing....will it throw a 3/8 long---B L U E spark??? not yellow,,and not red--blue..also--does this have the cd box on the fenderwell???? they will pull the same stunt.......if its a points system--the points may look good--but if the capacitor--has too much humidty in it..well,,there yah go again--
thats exactly what he said was that box on the fenderwell.
as in cd box do you mean voltage regulator?
