Replaced ballast resistors (i hav 2,a2prong an 4 prong ) also electronic control unit an put a new coil on. Still would stall out when i took hand off key,smelled gas so thinkin its flooded,held pedal down an continued to crank.she fired an is runnin but ruff.Thinkin she fouled some plugs. So it had to b 1 of th 4 new parts along we th fouled plugs.Cost around 100$ for th 4 so i can live with that.Ill put in a set of new plugs,retime it an hopefully th clouds will part ,sun will shine an all will b good in th kingdom..an my keyboard took th struggle lik a champ,jus lost a half bottle of bourbon.Thanks again for th help
 
Oh forgot,if anyone knows im lookin for apair of factory deep rim that will accommodate apair of 285x60x15,jus plain stock rim

I had a similar situation a few months ago. Just died while I was putting around on base. I was getting spark, and still had fuel coming out the squirters but it would not stay running. After much troubleshooting I noticed a crack on my mechanical fuel pump right at the block. The damn thing sheared off right at the block! Never seen a failure like that before. Better still while troubleshooting I disconnected the MSD at the distributor. When I reconnected it, one of the wires pushed out of the connector. No wonder I'm bald...

I hear ya brother,these old Dobas can be an electrical nitemare,but as Ricardo Montauban said " Its a good car" an it is !!
 
That car looks like a bit of a contradiction. The wheels say "Street Racer" but the vinyl top says I'm a cruiser, NOT a bruiser.
Yeah, new wheels will wake up the looks of the car for sure.
Good thing you have it up and running. THank you for posting an update, too. That is helpful to others.
