Re: It just died while driving
Old fried set of points? That happened to me when I was first getting the T/A running. I absent-mindedly left all the braided metal ground straps disconnected. It caused a back feed of voltage that literally fried the mating surfaces of the ingnition points to where the car would crank but not start. When I hooked the ground straps back up it started but ran really badly, it wouldn't rev over 2000 rpm. Replaced the points and condensor and attached the ground straps and she ran fine.
