[DeTomaso] Problems with engine shutting down

[jderyke at aol.com]

Sometimes an internal break in the coil windings will do that; its temperature related due to heat expansion within the coil itself. Conversion kits often use the old coil, which confuses the issue. Try a new coil- they're cheap.

You guys have bailed me out a number of times and I appreciate the
   help. My
totally stock late 74 is shutting down when I come to or
   nearly comes to a
stop. It still has all the smog stuff it came with.
   Worse in warm weather.
It first started coming off the track at Fire
   Bird a couple of years ago.
Flipped it in neutral came to a stop but it
   started right up as it always
does. It has gotten a lot worse. Very
   hard to park it at a car show. Just
dies. Doesn't do it every time but
   almost. Put pertronix  in it but no
change. It will go like heck at any
   speed with no problems. Starts up cold
fine. Choke works fine. Kicks
   down when warm. Then after it gets warmed up
the problem starts. Any
   ideas?
