problem restated...
would run fine for 30-45 minutes, then lose power & quit. had to wait 30 min. to restart. tnen fine for another 30 minute, only to die once again.
checked fuel filter(clean) mechanical pump, no problems there.
wrapped exhaust with fiberglass... no change (although engine house is much cooler)
changed cap, plugs, points, condenser, all to no avail (all had to be done anyway)
changed coil.
bingo, bingo, bingo and bingo was his name-o
