I think this is an electrical issue.  The problem is that my 73 JH just stops running.  This has happened twice.  The engine simply stops running and the tachometer pins itself.  If i turn the ignition off and then engage the starter it fires right up again.  This last happened while I was in the fast lane of a busy highway.  Kind of surprised me and probably the guy who was tailgating me too.  This is probably unrelated but I was informed when I got to town that my brake lights weren't working. 

So, any ideas as to the cause?  Thanks
