"1981 318 engine BW 1.91:1 turning a 4 blade 18x17 prop. Edelbrock carb, OEM Prestolite ignition.
Engine would start and run for an hour or so.It would the stall at idle (no wake zone) It could not be restarted until it cooled off.It never overheated. fuel and ign would check OK and the engine would restartafter cool down.
I replaced the Ignition reluctor, pickup, module, ballast resistor and the wiring.
Now it will run for a couple of hours and then stall in a no wake zone. It can be immediately restarted runs a little rough unless accelerated and stalls if put in gear. let it sit for 15 minutes or so and all is normal.
Engine vacuum/compression/oil pressure are good.
Any one have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe"
