My daily driver, '75B with ZS carb and electronic ignition is driven about 20 miles daily. Yesterday it just died twice each way at about 45-55 mph. Wouldn't restart right away, but after looking und

Make sure the vent system to the gas tank is working properly. If it is plugged, the fuel pump will create a vacuum in the tank to the point that no fuel will be delivered. Essentially running out o

Did the tach drop instantly? If so the problem is ignition LT. Did the ignition warning light come on instantly? If so look around the ignition switch and plugs under the column, but if not the coil

my '74 would do that occaisionally but usually only after prolonged idle in traffic when the temperature was in the 90's I attributed it to fuel evaporation in the fuel lines near the carb. extreem u

I know I shouldn't answer a question with a question.......... But this problem reminds me of a problem I have with my 67 BGT. Or more like an annoyance. The car runs great. The only thing is that if

Actually the car warms up fairly quick and then holds a steady 190 degrees on the temperature reading. So by the time I hiit the highway, I am already close to operating temperature and the choke is

You may be on to something. The time is not the same - one intersection, the one I hit today, is twice as far on the highway as my normal route. But, all the intersections do have one significant th

Are you using the engine for braking? If so, then perhaps the engine is loading up with fuel and floods out? (Too rich a setting?) Another is a loose wire which moves forward and grounds out when go

I wouldn't think this was electrical or it would be more erratic. It sounds more like the story from a while ago where the car would not restart after buying vanilla ice-cream but would after buying

Hmmm, let's try this again... (clicked on "Send" by mistake) The coil is a likely culprit. Other thnigs to check out are the condenser (if you're running points) or the electronic ignition amplifier

On a B with SUs the carb chambers are mirrored -- one in front, and one behind. So while you sometimes get rough running due to poor mixture balance on steep hills, either up or down, downhill isn't
