Going down the road everything nice, on acceleration
from stop light, about 100ft, it just shuts off, like
the switch is turned off(oil & alt light)coast to a
stop, will not start back up, wait two-three minutes,
starts up and runs perfect. Has occurred three times
and won't stay broken long enough to find anything
wrong. Timing set to 7.5, Idle 850, Dwell 45(new
points and rebuilt dist)engine has 80 miles on it (new
engine)(did it one time on the old engine). I have a
new ECU but it won't stay out long enough to try it
when it happens. ?????? any help out there?? Phil
