It.......

Thanks for the complement. I like the way it looks as well. Those new springs sure hold up the rear, and they AREN'T SS's. Supposed to be "drivers".

Anyway, I let it sit most of the day Sunday, then went down and started pulling plugs expecting to see a closed gap. Pulled the 6 easy ones and everything looked Jake. None of the wires seemed loose either. So I put them back, twisted the key, and PRESTO! Ran smooth as silk. So like you, I'm making a guess that the coil is breaking down when hot.

However.............

It's about 91 here today and I took "IT" out for a spin. Drove "IT" about 10 miles, most of it at highway speeds. Even made a stop down the road when I saw the wrecker driver. Fired back up (with a pump of the pedal) and drove back to the shop. No probs.

So I'll be changing the coil, and I am also in need of a correct square top radiator, shroud, and fan. Cause what's in it isn't keeping "IT" cool.

Anybody have one?
