A couple days of pulling my wire and hair out at the same time! Went to swap spots with the '64 and '66 the other day and after starting the '64 I then put the '66 outside and when I came back in the '64 had died. Wouldn't fire again, hell of a place to work under the 4 post. Swapped out everything, ballast, ECU and coil. It would start and then die, but at least it would start and run. Got it moved to the hoist bay. Run time varied from immediate death to many minutes at a time, or me turning on the headlights and it would die. Figured a broken or corroded wire, or bad ignition switch but rewired the entire thing and even ran a power wire direct to by pass the key run position. Still died... all for a shorted out electric choke coil! Put that one in the back of your brain for "next time" ! OH well, the wiring is neat now!
