Re: Back to ignition 140-160 1975

I havent seen the prior messages but, how have you concluded that the problem is electrical rather than fuel related. A reasonable, but not foolproof hint is the way in which the engine shuts off. If the engine stops instantly, almost like shutting off a light, its probably electrical. If, however, it shudders, shakes and then finally, after a few, seconds, shuts down its probably fuel. Not an absolute, but its and indicator.
