two days ago I noticed I was driving normal about 40 mph. Then for fun, I gunned it and it ran really funny and getting jerky like it was going to die on me. I let off the gas, and it resumed normal operation. I was able to repeat it.

Today I noticed the idiot light on th eright side started flashing at me and it was trying to die on me at slower speeds. The light goes out when I am stopped and idling but when I get above 20, it begins flashing. It died on me once and before it died it started running funny like I mentioned in the previous paragraph.

My only guess is alternator, because the car is so simple, I can't really imagine what all that light comes on for.

65 coupe by the way.

Any ideas?
