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 or pick-up (if you're running those).  Any of the above will
tend to go into a state where they fail when hot, but recover when
cooled off.  Eventually they fail so that they never recover.

    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 under the
hood for a few minutes, it would restart.
    Timing is OK, fuel pump pressure looks OK at idle.  My next
thought
was to swamp out the coil.  Any other thoughts?
