289 1967 Coupe, manual transmission; almost stock.
Here is the problem:
Car starts fine, but after 30 minutes of driving in the city it dies. IIRC, all the times that has done this, I was accelerating, and just before it dies, I feel how it becomes unresponsive on the pedal, and then suddenly shuts off, without stalling. After that, it starts again but it is more probable it will shut off the same way a few blocks later.
The problem can occur earlier (during the first 15mins) if I cruise around 1 or 2pm, when the sun is at its peak.
Things that have been done:
-Gas tank has been changed (I thought maybe sediments would clog the fuel line).
-Fuel pump replaced (This helped solve one of the issues; because before it was changed, the car would not start right away, you would need to leave it cool for an hour or two).
-Changed to electronic ignition (Pertronix Ignitor I and Flamethrower coil).
-I also put a clear fuel filter, and even though sometimes doesn't seems completely full, it always has certain level of fuel.
>PO "rewire" the car, but he just leave a mess under the dash.
>It has an alarm, the module is disconnected, but the wiring is still hooked up.
>I also install a kill-switch, right after the ignition switch, could it be that, that kill-switch overheats and then shuts the engine?
If that is not possible, what would you recommend I look for or replace?
Thanks in advance!
