This past Sunday I was going to visit a friend and show him my Royal Monaco. I had to leave a stop light in a bit of a hurry, I should have been in the right lane, but found myself in the left.
I hit the gas and about 60 ft in the car died. The left turn signal light popped on to let me know my key was where I left it. Then, as fast as it died it came right back on and took off. Its never done this. Granted I've only put about 2500 miles on it since Oct. of last year. But, I ran the hell out of it on my trip home from Indiana. As usual, when I buy an old car I go through it, and hit the high spots and some low if needed. Here's what's been done. Cap, Rotor, plugs, wires, coil, ignition module, voltage regulator, all new rubber fuel lines, new gas tank, valve cover gaskets, Weiand intake, Edlebrock AVS2 650. My thought is a loose connection, but where should I start? Occasionally it'll stumble at idle. Otherwise, I can't ask for a better running car. Please advise..... Thanks all!
Oh, just in case 1975, 400 cu, 46k miles. With exception of intake and carb, it's totally stock
