Engine cuts out

[kid]

After setting for a few months during the front end rebuild the engine started fine but as I go down the street the engine turns off and on. Sometimes it comes back if I turn the key off and on while in gear and coasting (new 6 month old switch and new coil and points plugs and wires 9 months ago). Sometimes it just seems to miss for no reason every few seconds.

Any Thoughts?

Hmm, if the ignition switch has some kind of cause/effect I'd bypass it first and see if it still does it. Run the truck hot-wired but not too long that you overheat the coil. That's where I'd start.

Thanks I will give that a shot. I have an external resistor because of the previous owner so coil burn won't be a problem

I bypassed it after a bad day of cutting out and back on and no problem. So new ignition switch does not fix it. Does anyone know where I can get the ignition wiring harness and connector?

Found the original problem that lead to the bypass wire. Ø16A resistor wire does not work. Plus the terminal connectors in my ignition switch connector don't make good contact.
