Rob,
Though it would be an easy test to just disconnect the Jacobs
Ignition, I suspect more and more it's the fuel. Down to 1/2 a tank seems to
work fine 1/2 tank and below start getting cut out again. Last night cut out
and dropped 10MPH before it came back, then it kind of banged and shot ahead
like I'd opened up a 4 barrel. My foot didn't change positions during the
whole incident.
I'll keep you posted.

I too have Jacobs. Had to turn in the original for a new one on
warranty. It dropped a couple of cylinders on the way home from work
one day and I called them. I have also had the candles go out 2
different times while cruising on the interstate. It's a weird feeling
because there is no warning at all prior to this happening. On both
occasions I pulled off the road, came to a FULL stop, put it in park,
waited 30secs. and started right back up and continued on my way
without incident. Just to let you know,...you're no the only one.

DML List,
Strange thing occurred last nite. Cruising along at 70mph and the
engine skips a beat. Felt like the engine cut out for a second. A second or
two later felt like the ignition got turned off. I pumped the gas slightly
and it perked right back up.
Had it in OD. No theatrics. Just cruising at a steady rate. Just in
case it might be pertinent, I have a Jacobs Ignition, and open air filter.
No other performance mods.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
JonH
