The Suburban ran great last night after I got the old fuel out of it. It ran great this morning going to town. Then coming home it took some intermittent sputtering spells Then it started losing power on the same stretch of road where it started when I had the old gas in it.

Now I'm thinking I have a loose terminal somewhere in the ignition system. Or maybe the Pertronix unit is playing tricks on me. Anyone ever had one flutter before dying?

What else should I be looking at?
