Default Now what?

I had a 73 Ranchero GT that did the same thing two different times.
The first time was an intermittant ignition coil failure.
The second time I had some crap in my float bowls that would block the
ports.
Good luck!
You find the problem, the older cars are so much easier to troubleshoot,
that's why I went with a '72 mach 1.
