Hi Chris,

Hopefully the corrections/modifications you made will help, but I'm concerned your real problem is vapor lock. Get one of those Dust Off aerosol cans of "keyboard duster" (or whatever they call it) used to blow dust out of a computer keyboard.

If the car sputters and dies again and exhibits the same symptoms in which it won't start, shake up the can of keyboard duster, turn it upside down, and spray your fuel pump, fuel line, and carb bowls and base. This will instantly chill all those components and end a vapor lock. You should then be able to restart your car.

If that doesn't solve the problem, spray your coil to cool it down and see if it starts then.

Good luck, and keep us posted on what happens.
