Hi,

I bought my first 1976 GT at the weekend and whilst driving home after about 10 miles it started to splutter a wee bit then conked out altogether.

I had to get and MOT so i got the guy to set up the carbs while he had the car in for the MOT, it started a treat and ran well for about 4 miles then conked out again.

I fitted a new coil tonight and it was running great and pulling good too, it ran for about 8 miles and started to splutter again so i headed for home, when i got home i let it cool down for half an hour and turned it over but nothing there. I removed 2 of the plugs to see how strong the spark was but there was no spark at all. I checked the distributor cap but  looks good to me, no loose wires either can anybody help please.
