"I'm trying to help a frie
"I'm trying to help a friend with his 4.3L 6 cylinder Cobra. The problem is the engine just "dies" at idle and won't restart. Sometimes it's as sudden as if you turn off the key, other times it looses rpms quickly and then stops. This happens very rarely and without warning. I checked for vapor lock but it appears to be getting plenty of fuel into the carb and intake. There does appear to be good spark going to all the plugs but I'm starting to feel this problem is electrical...Coil, Condenser? The carb was rebuilt last fall and it has been running great until a week or so ago. Fuel and filter are clean, timing is currently 2 BTDC, vacuum is 22 lbs."
