Thanks Bob and Mike for your concerns. I spent the last 4 days at Bob Ream's working with him on the car. Every time we tested some piece of electronics something else would fail!! Finally sorted it out with replacing the Mallory CD with MSD 6A. I was intermittent and finally failed...plus the Accel Distributor module was OK then not OK. The signal on the red bulb was solid and not pulsing. Bob found another module and resoldered the old wires to it. Amazingly it started immediately and idled at 850 rpm's.

The MAP sensor was indicating "no vacuum" but that was fixed by tightening the hose clamps. I learned a lot watching Bob and asking questions. He's the man!

Decided not to take car on this trip just in case something else fails. Don't want to have another $600 tow to PHX. Will put some miles on next week locally instead.

I'll travel and bunk with Bob B this trip. At least I'm going.

See ya there...
Bill
