I think only 82-83 had this, but the same thing happened to me right when the water temp guage hit the F if I shut her down it would be hard to start, then eventually it got to the point where it would shut off completly until it cooloed down.. The prob was the stator and rotor in the dizzy, there was too big of a gap and when the water got hot and passed by the dizzy it did something {thinking expanded the gap more due to heat} and the car would shut down.


p.s updated gallery new turbo picsw Garett GT40

HOW hot does it run? Just above the F but still right by it, or 3/4 the way up the temp gauge?

Replace the distributor with a used one in good shape!

Mine runs a 1/4 inch to the left of the F 145 degree thermo and the JTR aluminum radiator only 300.00 shipped and it is a direct bolt in.. P.S. I live in AZ and it is already 90-95 here. Even in traffic stop and go it never goes past the F Oh to fix my prob, I had to buy a new Dizzy.

Had that problem too. I grabbed a bunch of stator and rotors from a pic-a-part and tried different combos until I found one that would measure out to the right gap. Worked like a charm.

Well lets see, My car would heat up to the F and stop but try this have her run on idle till she gets hot, see if the car starts trying to stay alive. Like does the rev meter go up and down or does it simply turn off. See mine would rev up and down and if i gave it gas it would die but if i let off the gas it would still try to stay alive. So replaced the pressure regulator and that fixed the problem. Also replaced the fuel pump but that didnt solve my problem but it was faulty thou.
