Hi Chris,
Sounds like the shop is guessing...because I just did a complete tune up on that car including points, plugs, cap, rotor, condensor, wires, etc. So those parts are not going to be the problem, especially all at once! However, I did not replace the coil. But failure of the coil is rare, and what the shop did confirms that. Wish I were there, I could help a lot. It might be just that the points drifted out of spec, or something simple. Did anyone check the dwell? Should be set to 30 degrees. Personally, I always get uncomfortable bringing an old car to a typical shop...aside from the grease marks I typically find on the interior, a lot of today's shops fumble with the simple repairs that old cars sometimes require. Let me know how it goes. Alan. PS: There are specific tests to isolate all ignition problems, so if the shop says it's x, y and z, they are bluffing or ignorant.
