All warmed up and ready to stall.. ?
 

My 340 seems to run great until the motor gets good and warmed up (highway driving). After which if I stop and idle it will stall and not restart. At first it acts as if it wants to fire a couple of times and then no fire at all.

Temp gauge reads good, motor/radiator seem fine, nothing like it's going to boil over or anything like that. Let it cool down for 15 minutes and back on the road. I did notice that the ignition coil (mounted on the fire wall) gets extremely hot, like you cant touch it hot, is this normal?

I can't help feeling it's something electrical, any idea's ?

Thank you.

ballast restor? is it hooked up properly? r u using electronic dizzy or points? i hooked one up wrong once hot wiring it blew the coil apart aftewr about 20 minutes of driving. ran like crap too

Right on the bulls eye!!!!
The load resister was wired to the coil on the wrong side, so there really was no resister in the circuit at all. Problem completely solved!!!!
Thank you very much!!

Joe.
