I have a 74 2.0. The problem is an electrical shutdown of an intermittent nature. Imagine driving down the road, car running great, no missing, etc., and all of the sudden the tachometer will go to zero. Dead engine. This will be either very temporary (a studder) or will cause me to pull off to the side of the road. The car will restart after fiddling with numerous wires. The problem seems to be power to the coil. But....New coil, new ignition switch (to solve my starter problem). I had a timing light at my side for awhile but the problem is too elusive. I guess the question is: What steps would you take to solve this. I can't read a electrical diagram worth a damn.
No other problems to speak of. Thanks for your input.
