<VV> Got towed again

[larry at forman.net]

I try to always carry a fan belt with 9/16" bent wrench, spare ignition
coil, and spare electric fuel pump.   My motto regarding an ignition
coil is:   "If in doubt, swap it out."  Swapping the ignition coil can
easily be done in five minutes to verify it solves a lot of strange
ignition symptoms.  All of these three will stop a Corvair cold.

Drove to the hardware store and parked it.  Came out and it started right up. Drove 1/2 Mile and it dropped dead. After I got it towed home it started right up.  I thought it was a vapor lock, but it was 55 degrees.  I pulled my the filler tube AND vent tube....no clogs. How about coil? Given the high temperature of the air cooled engine compartment, these could must expire fairly often.   I'll try a new one but this car knows when I'm far from home.   Shoulda joined triple A
