Ok here is the scenario
Took 60 BE, 1275 and points ignition, out for a noonish drive.
Drove about 15 miles and was heading back into town to gas station.
Sitting at what seemed to be a long TL waiting for left turn, at least a minute sitting
Car not in gear, and idling about 1000. Oil 30psi, water 190
Then engine just stops and will not restart.
Push to side of road into parking lot (lucky here)
Check out under bonnet, nothing seemed to be out of place.
Fuel pump is clicking.
Engine wants to start and finally does after almost catching several times
Keep the revs up and head home, 4 miles.
Engine starts on first hit, idles and revs. Oil / water good
Diagnosis is old coil has a internal fault that occurs when gets hot. Maybe I hit one too many bump.
New coil to be ordered????

Coil felt very warm to the touch , or could not touch
Cannot remember age or brand of coil. Had similar issue some 20 years back with a coil that would just cut out after a bit.
Probably put this one form spares back then.
