Shutting down on the Interstate is exactly what I want to avoid. It's bad enough on the surface streets.

I have cleaned up connections while doing the resistance checks I mentioned. But thanks for bringing it up. I have not deleved into this as thoroughly as I would like. A bad connection somewhere may yet be a factor.

Blind leads...yeah. If the car's going to break down, it should just break down.

Since I have determined the coil and ballast resistor are not up to spec, I should I should replace them. It would be nice to have confirmation that my out of spec resistance findings could be responsible.

I think I would like to get a newer coil that eliminates the need for the resistor. I believe that is possible. Just need to determine which one.
