Some research on the net revealed that there was a class action lawsuit against Ford for defective ignition modules. If they reached a certain degree of heat they just quit dead on the hiway. When they cooled down away they went again. Thousands were stranded this way, Ford knew about it for years and did nothing about it.
That would have been the old Duraspark system, from the late '70s through the '80s. That's the big box on the fender that the parts guy would ask you "blue grommet, brown grommet, red grommet...." And 99% of the people looked at you like you had two heads.... And 99% of the time it was the blue grommet...
My previous tenure as a parts guy is showing through here....
