Points seem to be fine now.
However, I drove up to CVS and car would only idle when I tried to depart. Pulled over in shade and sat maybe 30 min then it would run up other than idle for a min then back to idle only, starts fine.
Had a bud tow me home. Got there and it started and ran fine for a min then back to idle only.
I am thinking coil, although it has a new condencer in it today. This happened about a week ago for a bit as well so kind of ruleing out condencer.
Is this the way a coil can die? Been a long time since I've had a coil go bad and then it just quit.
Have good fuel etc, etc.
I can borrow a 12v coil tomorrow and test but thought maybe someone knew.
Or tell me how to test a coil with a multimeter.
Just went out after an hour or so and all seemed well started and ran ok. What the heck is going on.
