Hi everyone!
New poster here long time follower though. I have a 1973 30' CC Express bridge with twin 307Q's that have been re-powered to 350 ci long blocks (retaining all 307Q accessories). I have been having a re-occuring stalling issue with the port engine where after 10 minute warm up or extended running it will stall and not re-fire for several minutes. I've replaced the cap, rotor, points and condenser (Mallory flat cap, single point) and coil (external resistor). My fear is that I may be doing harm to the coil because I'm on the second one in two weeks now. Iv'e seen posts regarding the external resistor and assume that if it's bad, that could be causing the coil to overheat? And eventually go bad? Also is it an actual resistor or a wire with built in resistance.
Thanks
Carl
