A sudden  stop with no warning does seem more likely to be ignition than
fuel, which  usually causes spits and misfires before actually stopping.

It doesn't  matter how many times I overlook the simplest item, I always 
seem
to be  capable of making the same mistake over again!



Well, I'm running an electric fuel pump, so I couldn't really tell IF it  
was getting enough fuel pressure. But, I do know what you mean. If it had 
been a  normal "road trip", I would have been carrying a spare distributor (all 
set up),  and that would have fixed right then. But I didn't have the spare 
with me.
 
But since that happened, I'm going to keep an eye out on that. 
 
By the way, it did stall once, and I re-fired it, then moved about 30 feet  
before it quit again (for the final time that morning). Once we found the  
problem, and fixed it, we drove all the way back home (some 70 miles).I only 
 replaced the pump, because I wanted to eliminate it from the equation. All 
the  other parts were the same as we left the house with. :O
