I was out driving this weekend and my truck just stopped. engine died, no back fire no chuga chuga. I opened the hood and all looked well, jiggled all the wire and checked the points. started back up and made it home.Yesterday afternoo I decieded to look at it again, wouldnt start. checked the usual stuff and nothing. last thing was to run a wire from the starter motor to the coil side of the ballast resister. started fine but died when the started dropped. ran a jumper around the resister and it ran ok . checked my connections and started without the jumper. But it has a miss at 1800 + and seems weak on power. Today will meter the vtg on resister and try a dwell meter for points. any other things to look for ? this is a 235 stock 57/58 engine.
