Hi Dennis, I had a similar problem with my stock 49, six volt truck. It started out as a very small miss in the spring ( once every 50 to 100 miles like I had turned off the ign switch and on again very fast) then about 3 weeks ago it stalled as I was starting to go uphill at a stop light, it was very hard to restart. when I got home I did the wiggle test, ie with the truck running I wiggled all the wires under the dash and under the hood, it did not stop but I got a big shock from the wire that runs from the distributor to the points at the distributor. I replaced both the coil and condenser, points were still at the right gap. When replacing the condenser I found the clamp around the old condenser was a little loose.( The ground for the condenser) After going for a 15 mile test drive I felt like that it was idling a bit smoother . Have Fun, Brian
