Restomod Racing

I had a long standing problem with Restomod.  She would shut off for no apparent reason.  You’d be driving along and suddenly the engine dies.  What I noticed was that the car electrical seemed to shut off for just a second.  It was enough time to kill the engine.  Over a couple of years the dying became closer and closer.  Last week it would die several times in a couple of miles.  

I finally got tired of it and started to analyze the situation.  It appears that the electrical suddenly shuts off and then restarts.  I looked at all of the wiring that I installed over the years, but all appeared to be good.  I then checked my battery shut off switch (required by NHRA for relocated batteries) and it appeared to be good.  This took a few hours but I could find nothing wrong.  I decided to replace the starter switch although it showed no signs of being bad.

I drove the car around the block a few times and the engine has not shut off.  Hopefully this has resolved the problem.  Time will tell.
