[DeTomaso] Engine dies

[F&D Terry]

Garth,

I haven't followed this thread but your reference to a Mallory Unilite 
caught my eye. I had one once and that was too many times. The thing 
died in the middle of a busy intersection at rush hour. I never 
considered repairing it.

Look at the plug very closely and you might see a pin   sticking out the backside. Depending on which electronic module you have, the   problem may also be in there- Pertronics are famous for partial failures in   which the engine sometimes continues to run- poorly- to confuse trouble-shooters   like me. If the pins in the muilt-connector are all in position, I'd swap out   the whole distributor for your first test. Good luck- J deRyke
