Thanks Bill. The first thing I checked while it was still running fine was that fuse. We are lucky to live where corrosion caused by humidity is very rare and the car came from the desert SW, so except for the bad insulation issues this car is nearly perfect underneath. It is a conglomeration with the Chrysler control box and LH2.0 on a later engine. I figured that out after buying it when trying to fix the AC. People here helped with that. Imagine driving a 40 year old car with working AC! To make matters worse, I am no electronics genius and I had just found a cracked vacuum line that goes to the control box, that had been causing hard starting and rough idling. I don't even know what a Hall sensor is. It was running perfectly and has a nearly new starter, but I have to wonder what I touched when fixing that vacuum line. I suspect the signals and dash warning lights have nothing to do with the engine dying. I went back yesterday with tools and gave up when my hands were freezing. I will be towing her home today, put her in my shop and start by looking in the dash.
One of my motto's is that I am too stupid to give up. You don't want to know what all I did to Daisy before a hail storm destroyed her. Anybody else would have hauled this hail damaged old beater to the crusher long ago. We keep old Daisy Lilly for gravel roads and now have a 745T for the highway. I think it is the only one in my Montana county and the dealer in the next county over doesn't have anybody old enough to work on these things.
