Why is my '67 corvair shutting down as i drive down the road?
After more than 15 years and 100,000 miles I did a much-deserved rebuild of
my 95 hp corvair convertible. She is running like a dream, but every so often I
would be driving down the road and, poof! she'd shut down entirely and i'd
coast to the side of the road. Tried changing the alternator - 3 times - new
battery, voltage regulator, solenoid, but every so often it would still happen.
Finally narrowed it down to that it only happens when my headlights are on.
About 30 minutes after I turn on the lights, it happens. Is this a faulty headlight
switch? Someone told me the headlight relay, but when I called Clarks they
told me the late models don't have the relay. Can anybody point me in the
right direction?
