Newn72,

Interesting you say this, as Lady's problem has really diminished after I cured the overheating problem. No more hot flashes, hehe...
She will not start ~sometimes~ when hot on just a burst of the key, but I do not have to crank a lot like I did before before.
I still want to change the coil to see what happens. I will switch to electronic ignition then also.

Also I found that my battery cables are not original and are only 6 gauge. The originals should be 4 gauge and would allow more current to and fro the starter.

Things are getting better at least!
