[DeTomaso] Car dies on Interstate--Coil wire damage after dyno??

[clay willmott]

Got my car back from the alignment shop and it drove excellent for 15 minutes. Then slowly started to die and the oil pressure dropped and it stopped in front of a semi.  
It re-started right away and drove a bit but did the same thing a few minutes later. It would restart fine after each episode.  The temp was 180 and all of the other gauges were normal.

Since I was in a dangerous area I drove it further down the road and when it would start to die and the oil pressure gauge would hit 35 (It is 70 normally) all I did was either brake, downshift or turn the wheel and it seemed to correct.  The engine was rebuilt 2 years ago and has few miles and runs great normally.

I have a new holley red, fuel line and filter and the car drove fine after replacement a few weeks ago.  The problem began after driving around 80 mph today which I think loosened the coil wire and caused a short which is why the car behaved intermittently or possibly the alignment guy may have helped loosen it somehow.
At my recent dyno the guy said my coil wire was very loose after he attached the dyno tach lead and if the car ever dies thats the problem.  I was planning to replace the wire after the alignment.

I need to take the car to another appointment in the late morning so other than checking the wires to the coil is there any likely sources to cause these symptoms?

Thanks
Clay
