RE: [DML] more issues with ignition

Henry, The ignition coil may have gone out. That along with the pick up coil
have the same characteristics when the quit. Make sure the inertia switch
didn't trip on it's own and the wires on the bottom of it didn't over heat
and lose connection.
I check the coil for fire by lifting the wire out of the middle and have
some one try to crank the car and see the fire jump. You can also do it from
the plug. Even on the new pick up coil you put in, check the resistance Hot
and cold. Did you test the old pick up coil to make sure it was bad.

Well, my joy only lasted one day. Friday, after replacing the
distributor/pick up coil, the car ran very well for a nice hour+ long drive.
Saturday, I'm driving to a friends house, and nothing seemed out of the
ordinary until I accidentally stalled the engine on a slight hill. I'm not
sure if I actually stalled it, or it lost power and stalled on it's own.
After that it would not start AT ALL. It cranks, the fuel pump is working,
everything seems totally normal - it just won't start.
