Strong Start and DEAD. Stranded without spark at coil!!
Drove the '78 to work this morning, ran hard and fast, didn't skip a beat.
Just went out to grab some lunch and take the long way back. Car started 100% normal, ran strong for about 20 seconds and just shut-off...like I turned it off. No sputter, no hesitation, just turned off.
I checked fuses, ground strap, plugs, coil wire, wires from alternator, CDI is making noise, cranked it more and all I was getting was a strong eu-de-87-Octane. I pulled the coil wire off and checked for spark (yes, I know it's a no-no) no spark.
I have a hunch as to 2 things it might be other than a bad coil.
Bad relay 911.615.115.00 (found under CDI cover) or possibly the tach limiter wire? The one that would cut the engine when rev limiter is hit, as the car cut out that abruptly.
HELP!!?? THOUGHTS!!??
