Ok - I am stumped, new points, dist, coil, cap, new fclear fuel filter with gas drained and lines blown out. Car will idle for hours, drive 4 to 5 miles after it reaches temperature and it starts to bog and then dies. After I drained the gas it actually drove for about 10 miles around town and then did it again. Wait 10 min. and then it starts and maybe makes it home or dies another time. I have fuel, I have voltage at the points? I have replaced the wire from the coil to the points on the dist. Had my turn signal and combo switch rebuilt. Could it be the starter switch on the back of the ignition key switch. I have pulled and tugged on the wiring but can't make it quit. Any ideas

70 240z just rebuilt engine, runs like a champ --- just before it dies..

Good deal!

One more thought..

Just remembered taking a mech pump apart once and found that the valves were jammed with a few flecks of crud. Replaced the pump after blowing out the lines and no problems. No probs until the return orifice got clogged by said crap.:)

Thought I'd add that.

Good luck
