lets start with: 1973.5T/CIS

A few weeks ago I ran a thread on trying to determine what could be the cause of my car running great for the entire day and then just shutting down with no re-start!

I thought it would be that meshed fuel filter in this infamous fuel tank of mine. Others clued as to electrical.

Well, after replacing the fuel filter, re-adjusting the points and even replacing the ignition coil, the car would still not start!!!! By the way the fuel pump and CDI unit were both humming along. I had one more idea that I thought would be nuts but worth a try and that was to replace that huge rev limiter rotor with a spare regulator rotor I had on hand. Simple enough.

After replacing the rotor it started right up!!!! WHAT? That huge limiter rotor somehow malfunctioned. But just how and why? What could possibly go wrong with these to shut down the electrical flow to the distributor? Anyone?
