'71 Dart GT Fan
Is it possible for the electronic ignition orange/chrome box to be intermittent? Or once it's dead it cannot be revived?
I ask because a friend has the chrome box on his A100 pick-up (360, Edelbrock Torker 340 (single plane), Edelbrock 750, unknown headers, 727, 8 3/4" with 3.55 sure-grip).
After driving the vehicle (city or freeway) it reaches a certain temperature and sputters/farts/dies. However, it will re-start immediately (put into Neutral after the sputter/fart/die, turn the key & start, and drop back into Drive and wait for it to do it again). It will continue this scenario until it is parked/cooled for a while then repeat as you hit that certain temperature (no actual gauge just the C-H range).
At first I thought "vapor lock" but the immediate re-start kind of shoots that theory.
He's tried wrapping the headers, re-routing & insulating the fuel line, and using the doghouse evacuation fan (not sure if the fan is a factory or previous owner install).
The vehicle has never puked the radiator fluid during this scenario.
Any ideas? The Woodward Dream Cruise is coming up in August and he wants to be able to drive the silly thing.
