so i have a 1942 ****** with a 1994 tbi 350 in it. the last few times i drove it its died on me. starts up every time when its cold and i can drive the hell out of it with no issues. then at random it will start sputtering and backfire then die. once i pull over it will no longer turn over. acts like its got a dead battery. had it towed home and as soon as she hit the pavement it started right up. i replaced the coil, wires, plugs and the distributer. im thinking maybe its the ignition switch itself. any ideas?

 

it has something to do with the distributer. opened the hood and wiggle the cap and it fired right back up. wtf am i not seeing here?

 

Are there any wires pinched in the distributor cap? What does it look like under the cap?

 

cap and rotor, wires, coil and plugs are all new. under the cap looks clean. the ICM looks new but im starting to think that is my issue.

 

ignition control module died. 40 bucks and im slinging mud again.
