when the car died i look @ fuel filter and it was enpty so i asumed that it was vapor lock.at the same time the coil died,but when it cooled it started right up.i had it running in my garage the last time, temp.went to 160 and it shut off,but this time i had gas. so i checked the elect. and low and behold it was the coil.had it out a couple times and the gas in the fuel filter seems to go to differint levels and it still runs........ go bucks
