I had a problem similar. When it got hot it lost spark sometimes, you never known when it would happen, sometimes great sometimes not. It turned out it was the orange brain box. It was a proform ignition made in china. I got a msd setup, distributor box and wires, havent had trouble since.

Subject: Re: Odd Problem
Had the car out yesterday, drove around town and a little on the highway with no problems. Going to take it out again today and duplicate the drive where it acted up last time. Only thing I've done so far was to tighten up the connections on the ballast resistor. I did check the temp on the coil when I got home it was about 130 deg. Any comment on the temp, normal, too high???

I've developed a problem after rewiring my engine compartment. The engine will just shut off while driving. No sputtering or anything it just shuts off like someone threw a switch. It will not restart while in motion but as soon as I pull to a stop it will start right up. It happened at 5 mph, 35 mph, and 60 mph. It has happened after driving 2 blocks, 5 miles, and 10 miles. When rewiring I soldered every connection and I eliminated the ammeter. I had driven it several times for up to an hour and never had a problem. And now it has happened the last 3 times I drove it. The last time it happened after driving 10 miles, but then I drove it an additional 30 miles with no problem. I'm running an orange box and an Accel coil.
When eliminating the ammeter the 10 ga. red wire that ran to the ammeter was relocated to the starter relay. A second 10 ga. wire was run from the starter relay to the black 10 ga. wire under the dash that had run to the ammeter as it supplies power to the dash. Just wondering if I have too much power running to the starter relay. I'm still running a stock alternator.
Any ideas?
