I had this exact behavior with my 62 C300 383. It turned out to be bad bearings in the distributor, which allowed too much play in the shaft. Under certain conditions the shaft would take a set the wrong way, dramatically changing spark dwell and shutting down the ignition. Removed from the car, it didn’t seem the play was that big. I swapped in another distributor and the problem was immediately cured. Dan in Seattle

This time it didn't want to start right up. I did start but it coughed and sputtered a little. Pretty obvious it was only getting spark intermittantly. And it ran a little ragged the rest of the time. So I ordered a box from Summit, 6800 rpm, so similar to the original orange box. I guess time will tell now. Paul L.
