[DeTomaso] Dead In The Water

Art, check your fuel filter.  That happened to me & all it was was a bad & dirty fuel filter.  Myron ( the other guy in Cleveland).

     I fired up the car this morning and everything was normal with the engine idling until it just quit running.  I thought that was odd so I fired it up again and a few seconds later it quit again.  I fired it up again and it was ran normally. I then took it for a drive and I didn't get a block away before it quit while I was driving along in first or second gear.  I left it in gear as I rolled along and it re-lit for a few seconds only to quit again.  I fired it up and drove back home with no more trouble.  The way it died,  I'm sure it is electrical.  There was no coughing or sputtering,  it would just stop deader than a beaver hat and then re-light.  I wiggled the wires I could reach with the engine running and could not make it die.  I'm headed out to pull the engine cover in the cab so that I can access the front of the distributor and try to figure out what is wrong. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Art
