[DML] Power loss resolved?

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let it never be said that David T. doesn't know his stuff. 

He was the only one who mentioned the ignition system and even though 
I'd replaced -all- of that stuff recently I figured I'd better look. 
I checked the spark and it was a weak yellow one. Not really knowing 
what to replace first, I bought a new coil.

Now I'm up to full power, with no hesitation, stumble or bucking.
Starting was -instant- instead of the few cranks it used to take.

I've measured the ballast resistor and it's fine. I'm not sure why 
the coil was dying. Has anyone ever had a coil die a slow death? My 
experience is that they either work or they don't. I hope it's just 
bad luck. I'll drive for a few days and make sure that this really 
was the problem and not the fuel system.
