Shenanigans,
I wish I'd found this post earlier to help out. That is a classic coil failure symptom. I went through the same thing on my Willys Jeep, although I ended up rebuilding the carb... and accidentally setting the jeep on fire in my apartment complex parking lot. That's a story for a different time though. Anyway, I'm glad you got it sorted out. Is there a place in the FAQ for this symptom/resolution?
