The car is a 73 monte carlo but the engine is a 78 chevy 350 and we've replaced the entire distributor, rotor, and 3 coils. what the car does is runs after a new coil after the engine temp reaches 180 the engine stops and won't crank again. But everytime the wires from the coil are burnt and just can't figure this out. If anyone can help with this problem let me know ASAP!
