I noticed RockAuto's servers were crashing last night, I guess a lot of us are working on cars right now! I have a problem with my 74 SE, 400 HP motor. Ran great until - Went to body shop for body work and paint, 3 months, then two weeks at transmission shop for rebuild, then three weeks at upholstery shop. Drove it home, died as I was pulling into garage. Now it won't run longer than about 2 minutes. Starts up fine, idles fine, then just dies. Will only restart if you push pedal to the floor but only fires up, doesn't keep running. Carter 9635S. Took it off, cleaned it up, didn't look that bad. Changed fuel filter. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm thinking about replacing the coil, then current one looks cheap and was on the car when I bought it. If it's failing this could be the cause? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
