weird cutting out problem

ok checked spark plugs and come to found out, passenger side bank was running lean so i yanked the carb off and rebuilt it, and ran fatter jets but didn't replace the spark plugs, plugs looked ok, checked the distributor cap and rotor and it was a little crappy but cleaned it up. Drove the car for 30 minutes and acted up again, pulled into auto zone, got a new cap and rotor, installed it and now it didn't wana start. Decided to check the ignition so i straight wired the wires going to the ballast and **** started right up. so got a ballast resistor at azone and went on my way. 2 fkn hours later it does it again, this time cuts out even in neutral, then dies at a stop light, crank it over a lot and still didn't run, move it over pulled it over wondering wtf is going on, let it sit and tried to start it and started up and ran good after that! The only thing i haven't checked was the fuel delivery. Ill check the lines to see if something isn't plugging up, Fuel filter doesn't look dirty but ill check that also


If it's randomly cutting out you need to check the fuel in the carb when it does it. The next time it quits look down in the carb and crack the throttle to see if you get a squirt of fuel if not it could be the sock in the tank is plugging up, fuel pump etc.

I suspect bad coil possibly. When they get hot they can give you the symptoms you are describing. What coil are you running? New or old?

Also check all of your grounds for ignition components.
