help me find an electrical gremlin, please

Badsport, not sure I understand how it could be the pick up coil on the dizzy...if I'm having problem getting spark from the coil wire.

The pickup coil triggers the coil to spark.


The car just dies no sputtering no nothing, just quits. Typically it is either at idle or low cruising speed less than 45mph. When I pull the coil wire some times I have spark sometimes I dont. Car normally starts back up but sometimes it takes a while.

Your description is what makes me lean toward coil or pickup coil.

If you replaced the coil with a known good one, then the next step is to check the pickup coil.
