Just throwing this out there homecloned :happy10:
Is the dist a new one ? how much wobble on the shaft.
Engine grounded good to the frame and fire wall, ecu could be loosing ground under flex and driving condition, a bad ground will make it get hot and miss a reading and go bad as soon as it get hot.
You knew I had to put my 2 cents in :-D Keep us updated and I hope you get this figured out soon :happy10:

Not a new one memike but its in real good shape as far as how it seats on the drive shaft, which is a new one. Ground is good, I scraped the paint off engine and firewall connections. This does happen after its been driven a few miles and things are warmed up.

not sure. if you got pieces to replace ignition system try replacing piece by piece and isolate whats bad..
maybe check if coil is always sparking when it should.

replace dist, fix prob? no -> put back
replace coil, fix prob? no -> put back
replace box, fix prob? no -> put back

maybe this is only happening when your low on fuel and getting a bad fuel clog down at the tank???

Good idea 1969dodgedartgt. I do have some extra stuff around. I will do the one piece at a time and see what happens.

I don't think, but am not ruling out a fuel problem. When I first got the car 8 years ago I had issues with vapor lock and this is nothing like that. When it dies it just looses power, no sputtering or bogging at all. Its just like I turned it off.
