[66birdman]

I have a 66 351 and it doesnt seem to like running lately. I replaced the cap, rotor, coil and condenser (points set was unavailable at the time). The parts store also sold me a ceramic ballast resistor, which come to find out isnt even for this truck, so needless to say it didnt get installed. It ran fine for while and all of a sudden it just quit. Once it sits for a few hours it fires right back up and runs for a bit before it dies again unless I keep my foot on the gas. I am assuming it is the resistor wire....sound like a good guess to yall? Or I guess it could be the points I never replaced but I have never heard of them "over heating" which is what this seems to be doing.
