I'e got a pretty much stock 302 with a new distributer and pointless ignition that won't stay lit.
It will crank and idle fine, then just cut off. When driving it will spontaniously cut off. If I bump the starter (ignition switch) while it's coasting it will fire back up.
I replaced the ignition switch but it did not help.
The wiring looks very ratty.
I've noticed lately that it only cranks when you release the starter switch (as opposed to cranking while the starter is running. That would seem to mean that there is not enough juice to fire the plugs while the starter is turning, huh?
The coil is older than dirt and very hot to the touch.
