Intermittent miss 140-160 1972

About a month ago I posted about an intermittent miss. Seemed like the engine just shut off for 1-2 seconds. Recommendations focused on the throttle position switch.

After checking this switch and making certain it is properly positioned, I decided to clean fuse connections and check continuity of the fuel pump circuit which led me to a slightly loose, badly oxidized fuse mounting block in the fender fuse box. Wiggling it around a bit caused it to make and break. A good clean 'em up and a bit of dielectric lubricant and all is well.

Hopefully this experience will be useful to others
