John T...I am Dave"s son, have had the pleasure of being towed out of the firld on the 70 for this reason. Up until last week i was sure it was a coil issue as A)it has always been getting gas whenever this has happened. B)Often times after sufficieant cool down it ran well again. The coil is mounted directly above and behind the manifold and does get unbearably hot, but thinking it was a coil overheating has always bothered me because i know lots of the old 70s spent time in the South and the South West, and if that had been an issue, it would be well known by 2010...BUT...the next option being condenser and this would be the 1st time I have ever seen a condensed quit then work again...so i discounted that idea. I was ready this year: wired up a 2nd coil with a switch, all we had to do was connect the coil wire to the distributer, flip the switch and go...worked great in the shop. Whwn it died this time...no spark at all with either system...I am going to replace the points condenser, plug wires...and see what happens again...I guess the ignition switch could be questionable...but it works 99% of the time...would that or the wires maybe be suceptible to heat?
