She's a 72 with 302 with some valve stem seal issues.

it was raining pretty hard both times.


what do you think it was does the ten minute restart time mean Vapo lock?

the motor spun freely just wouldn't firwe over. After the second stall out it ran fine. perhaps junk/rust in the lines and pump?

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

When my ignition coil started failing, it gave the same symptoms.

I once had a problem with moisture in my distributor cap. Replaced the cap and wires and no problem.
