<VV> Spooky Story

[Bob & Kathy Gilbert]

Wow. All of the items you have mentioned(pump, coil, pertronix) were new on
my car so I had (so far) ruled them out.

Food for thought...

Thanks,
Bob

I just went through almost the same thing with my '66 chevy pick-up with a
carb'd 350 vortec.  Stalled just like a fuel problem about 11 miles into my
drive home from work (around 12 miles total), started fine after I pulled
over to the side of the road and made it home fine.  Two days and four
commutes later stalls about a mile into the trip to work, started up, made
it another block, stalled, re-started, idled down a side street, stalled,
wouldn't restart, towed home. Replaced elect fuel pump and hei distributor (
shotgun approach to problem solving ), drove around the block, stalled,
restarted, idled home. Replaced coil, wouldn't start, bad coil.  Replaced
coil, drove 1/2 mile, stalled, restarted, stalled, idled a bit, stalled,
towed home. Rebuilt edelbrock 600cfm carb, runs great, four 5 mile test
drives without a problem so far.

Carb problem would have been my last guess but so far it seems to be the
fix.
