Towed the DC back home last night with the help of BAB.She ran for a while,hit a bump and completely cut out.

I don't know what the problem is,she is now completely dead,not even the ignition works!

Chris, when in doubt go back to basics, start from the battery and check all connections, then work your way forward.................................................................................................................................................................................till she turns over then starts, will help when i can, B.A.B

I fitted the rear seats today.

I also got it running again.

Breakdown;
It would run a while then cut out.
Then it won't start
Then it will just start,first turn,run a while then die.
Then it won't sart at all.
Then,after battling,I put a starter button in the engine bay,so that I could start the engine from there,and can see what is going on.
First problem I noticed,the rotor would turn,then stop,and turn again.This would account for it running,then dying.
Figurred oy that the EMPI chromed dizzy holder is bent,and when you tighten it,would lift the dizzy up,out of the slot,and the shaft stops turning,and would go back again,but 180 degrees out.
This will repeat itself,180 degrees back,first turn,and it starts.

Solution,take out the bracket,bend it into place,and it was fixed.

Now she runs like a dream!
