I thought that myself. Maybe it was a spark issue.

J-Mech: man, I was so grumpy at it the other day when it died on me, I almost pulled the trigger!

Lol. I just bought a car in California and am having it shipped to IL. If it wasn't for the 1500 in shipping cost I just might have!!

Honestly this old girl runs real well until it starts to die out. As much as I would like the EFI engine and few extra horse power. I would like to just keep the current engine.
( I have a handful of other automotive projects I would rather work on)
But at this point, so close to fall and winter I'll nurse it along until winter if I have to swap engines.

PS. I am not sure how a new engine would be blowing money.
Blowing money is drinking it away at the bar, or buying scratch off lotto tickets at the gas station.
If I put a new engine in this is should serve me 15-20 YEARS easy. That's not blowing money. It's a tool I have to have to maintain my house. Just like any other tool you need to live around the house. Eventually this engine will wear our. It's already 20+ years old. An replacement is just kinda an extreme pm
