    That would be my first guess.  :thumbs:  Too bad it isn't something easier to change.

    I had the identical thing happen with my '74'. And what it turned out being was one of the ignition wires had pulled out of the firewall connector. Wish I could remember which one it was, all I do remember was that it was black.
