Automatic Shutdown
72 Duster \6 with electronic ignition will shutdown without warning while being driven, maybe the recent 105 + degree days are a factor. The engine will quit, it will start then immediately die, it has fire and fuel. The ballast resistor, ECU, ignition coil and distributor pick-up are all within spec. This is aggravating and dangerous, gotta get it fixed, need help.

Quits, Starts, Quits?
I could be way off base but in the heat, it sounds like vapor lock.
Just thinking out loud again. |

Maybe ambient air temp is unrelated. Check your grounds and replace the ballast resistor.
It does sound some like vapor lock and the fuel pressure check is a good idea. What carb, manifold, and spacers (if any) are you using?? How close to exhaust does the fuel line run? Also, a plugged fuel filter can act like that - I just went through months of trying to track that down in my old frood truck. |

Electronic pick up coil in the distributor, replace that and problem solved....I think....I hope...I'm not sure but it's a good guess?
