I have an Accel Billetproof distributor in my '72 Stang with a 460 swapped into it. The other day the car mysteriously quit running while I was driving at about 25 mph. It didn't really "sputter," it just quit. At the time, it had been running for about 90 minutes, so it was very well warmed up.
I checked the "easy stuff" and made sure there was gas in the carb and the engine obviously cranked. Since I was by myself, I couldn't figure out a way to check for spark so I walked where I was going (which was thankfully close).
After about an hour, I returned with a friend to check it out, and the silly thing fired right up.
This reminds me a lot of a problem I had with an old Pontiac with an HEI ignition. On that car the problem turned out to be a failing ignition module which would periodically just quit, and eventually quit completely.
Have any of you had a similar problem with an Accel electronic distributor?
Thanks.
Wayne.
