Reply to "Engine cutting out"

@Chas

I had the same problem a while back Chas. I replaced my Bosch 009 with a Maganspark electronic distributer and the daypack coil. I could drive the drive and it ran great but after a little bit of driving the car would sputter, spit, and stall. It wouldn't start right away but if I waited a little bit I could start it, drive a little, and repeat the process.  

Turned out I got a bum coil. As it heated up the spark that travels through it would get interrupted (possibly a broken wire inside) and I'd have troubles. I replaced the daypack coil with a new dry pack coil and it's been running great ever since.
