My Electrical Woes Continue

[Elvis]

Well, the wires are Pertronix 8mm wires I put in about 8 months ago so I think they are good. When this first happened I was not looking directly at the engine. It just died a few minutes after I had fired it up and when I checked I saw the wire was no longer plugged into the distributor. I am quite certain that it had been firmly seated. In any event, it was really hot at the distributor end and as I mentioned previously, it became hot very quickly after subsequent starts and on those tries I made certain it was seated well. I am now using my old coil and everything is working fine so I think I'll just send the Pertronix coil back. E.
