Yesterday while on a nice drive my 68, 427, started running rough and within a mile quit running. It will try to start but won't stay running. When I check the voltage at the coil it is a very constant 7.29 volts with the ignition on but the car not running. Any ideas....seems it should be 12v or nothing....the 7.29 is unusual. This is why it will try to start but the
7volts isn't enough to make it stay running when you give it a little gas....the spark requirement is more than the coil and produce with this voltage. Any ideas???? Thanks for looking and hopefully someone has had a similiar problem. The timing and dwell is right. Thanks, Mike in Morgantown, PA- posted
