Simply stopped

Also, ignition points or electronic ignition. With points ignition if the condenser is old and quits, same thing happens. Please try to give more information. Like points or electronic ignition, when was the last time it was tuned up? Also, did it just die, leaving you stuck, or slowly fade away. If you're having trouble understanding what is being asked, I strongly suggest you do some research for a bit. In these days there are a wealth of information out there. You just need to ask the right questions, but first get a basic understanding of what you have to work with. I know, you just want it fixed, and fixed now, but in order to get help you have to know what you're dealing with. I know I repeated myself, that is only because that is very important to troubleshoot what the problem could be. There are so many reasons why the car will just stop on you. Hope this helps. I'm not trying to be a smart *** here, just trying to save you time and money and the stress.
