Thanks, Fred,for the questions....
Yes, it cranks fast.
Will have to run a test today to answer your other questions.
I am wondering if it could be a weak coil that tends to fail when the engine gets hot?!?!?!!?

I also am running antifreeze in the system. I have a vague memory of reading that plain distilled water conducts heat better than antifreeze.
Yesterday I drove about 15 miles...Outside temp was 96, humidity 85..Temp gauge was at 200. I drive this car 1000 miles a year and it has never overheated.

Thanks for helping in the analysis.

(Sure wish I could go back and spend the summers on my old farm in Tranquility, NJ!!!)
