Back in the late spring/early summer I installed a Pertronix ignition module(P/N # 1261) in a 200 CID Ford industrial engine('81 Versatile 4400 swather).............up until that point the engine had been running fine, I just wanted to eliminate the points..........
Now, the engine frequently stalls without warning just as if the key has been shut off(no sputtering, just dies)BUT will re-start immediately, no problem.............sometimes the engine will quit 4 or 5 times in row over the space of as many minutes and then it can run without fault for 1/2 an hour...................
I installed the module as per the instructions. Also, I confirmed the condition of the ground within the distributor during installation as I've read in other threads that a poor ground can wreak havoc...........
The factory coil and external resistor were used...........
I've read that using the Pertonix coil is a good idea but I've heard of plenty of people using the factory coil without issue??
Any ideas? Besides telling me I should have left points in! ;)

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
