Tom,
Just out of curiosity, before all this happened, would you have pulled the =
float bowl cover off and not refitted it with the serrated washer in its ri=
ght spot. I had similar situation happened to me several years ago and that=
 was my pfonlrm.

Subject: [Healeys] The single most confusing engine shutdown problem ever!

Was our driving a while back, engine purring, and suddenly she shut down.  =
Let it sit for a while and she would start and run for a while--then shut d=
own again.  I tried many fixes which I will list below.  Several times afte=
r the fixes she went for miles and miles and I thought I had "fixed" it.  N=
ope-----yesterday----it was AAA tow time once again (3 times this year).

The last 2 shutdown times came when she was idling waiting for a light or f=
or a car to pass.

So here is what I have tried:  * new coil  * new voltage regulator  * new f=
uel pump  * New ignition switch  * Blew out the fuel lines * pulled float b=
owls and cleaned them (no debris inside)  * Pulled the distributor plate ou=
t and cleaned and oiled it  * disconnected the wire leading from the batter=
y cutoff switch to the coil. * bypassed the entire battery cutoff switch * =
replaced the Pertronix with a new one  * checked all the sparkplug wires to=
 make sure they were on properly  *  replaced the distributor rotor *Replac=
ed the distributor cap . * checked the small ground wire inside the distrib=
utor to make sure it was attached properly.

 All this----and STILL o joy.  I'm really out of ideas at this point.  If a=
nyone has any ideas for me to check please share them.

Thanks
Tom

With all due respects Tom this sounds like the perfect situation where my
favorite adage applies.
"*Diagnosis BEFORE repair"*.
The repair system, usually adhered to in dealerships,  of "throw parts at
it until the problem is resolved" is the corolary of that process.
Some questions:
1. When the engine stops have you check for spark at a plug lead?
2. When the engine stops have you checked for fuel delivery at the
carburetors?
3. When you attempt a restart does the cranking sound normal?
4. Does the engine restart after everything cools down?
Almost certainly you will get the wrong answer to one of the above
questions (very unlikely more than one) and then you have something to
direct your attention to.

Sounds like a faulty coil or a bad/broken wire somewhere. Also check the 
engine earth strap and battery switch and connections. What coil have 
you fitted. If the ballast resistor (wire) is still in place it should 
be a 12V ca. 1,5 Ohm coil to be used with a resistor or a 12V ca. 3Ohm 
coil to be used without resistor.

First you need to find out, if its an ignition or fuel problem. When engine=

starved, check if you have sparks at the spark plugs.
In case you have sparks, its a fuel problem. Otherwise an ignition problem.

 the fixes she went for miles and miles and I thought I had "fixed" it.  Nop=

Don`t confuse. There is no ballast resistor in the wiring of any=20
Austin-Healey. Ballst resistors in coil wiring were invented in the 1970s.
The coil should have 3 Ohm primary resistance.

Sounds like a faulty coil or a bad/broken wire somewhere. Also check the=20
engine earth strap and battery switch and connections. What coil have you=

ca. 1,5 Ohm coil to be used with a resistor or a 12V ca. 3Ohm coil to be=20
used without resistor.

Tom, what do the basic troubleshooting tasks tell you? E.G., when it stops
is there fuel in the carbs? When it quits is there signal to the spark
plugs? Are the carbs getting air?

Tom,

Try a different battery.
I had precisely your experience.  Turned out to be latent damage from having 
been rear-ended several months before.  Just by blind luck - early on before I 
started down a rabbit hole like yours - I happened to notice an odd little line 
in the Bakelite of the battery at the ground post.  Looking closer there was a 
web of tiny cracks radiating out from the post.  It took months for them to 
develop to where the post would intermittently lose contact once the battery 
fully warmed.   Car died-  stare at it scratching head for a while (thus 
allowing the battery to cool), starts fine, warms up......repeat.
Come to think of it that may be when I started going bald.

If the battery doesn't fix it, try new battery cables.  (Pournelle's First Law 
of Computers- check the cables.)

Sounds like a faulty coil or a bad/broken wire somewhere. Also check the =
engine earth strap and battery switch and connections. What coil have =
you fitted. If the ballast resistor (wire) is still in place it should =
be a 12V ca. 1,5 Ohm coil to be used with a resistor or a 12V ca. 3Ohm =
coil to be used without resistor.

Was our driving a while back, engine purring, and suddenly she shut =

while--then shut down again.  I tried many fixes which I will list =
below.  Several times after the fixes she went for miles and miles and I =
thought I had "fixed" it.  Nope-----yesterday----it was AAA tow time =
once again (3 times this year). =20

=20

The last 2 shutdown times came when she was idling waiting for a light =
or for a car to pass.

So here is what I have tried:  * new coil  * new voltage regulator  * =
new fuel pump  * New ignition switch  * Blew out the fuel lines * pulled =
float bowls and cleaned them (no debris inside)  * Pulled the =
distributor plate out and cleaned and oiled it  * disconnected the wire =

entire battery cutoff switch * replaced the Pertronix with a new one  * =
checked all the sparkplug wires to make sure they were on properly  *  =
replaced the distributor rotor *Replaced the distributor cap . * checked =
the small ground wire inside the distributor to make sure it was =
