I am going to dive in here and throw out something simple. I had a 73 Duster. Similar issue. Drive fine then for no reason the thing would start missing and everything would go nuts. What i found on this car was at the wire connector coming out of the steering column two of the wires inside the connector had fused together slightly. When hot they made contact and even when moved or if I hit a bump. I bypassed the connector on the two wires and solved the problem. Later I also found this had damaged the switch itself and I ended up replacing it and the connector.



If you are talking about those two "thin banks" of wires that come out of the steering column.... I will go an examine them right now.
