My '91 had a bout of random death a couple years ago. No sputtering--it was just like you turned off the key. After trying most everything mentioned above, I changed the hall effect pickup in the distributor, and that fixed it. I now ride with a spare in the glovebox.
1968 Charger project. I don't have a fender tag or a buildsheet, so it's getting a 440. Help me decide on a color--most everything looks great! (NOT white. My Challenger is white. Need some variety :D) 1974 Challenger 360 2012 Challenger R/T 1991 Dakota 5.2

went for a morning cruise,did not die,no idea if its fixed or just being nice for a bit??,oh yeah,the speedometer didnt work,must of done something when replacing the filter,i need to drive for a few days to be sure,the 27 yr old rubber fuel lines were mushy(my problem??),so i shortened one quite a bit and cut a lot off of the other one and spliced in a longer piece to make it reach the filter

Mushy? I wonder if the ethanol gas is attacking the lines? 27yr old lines should be hard and cracked, not mushy. Might want to go thru and replace anywhere that has old rubber line. Make sure the new line is ethanol resistant.

the pump is a carter it has a round filter on the bottom much like a small air filter,fuel pressure has remained steady since i put the gauge on it,i think i have a bad connection somewhere,or a intermittent short?,if it would die and not restart i could find it!!! keep the hints/help coming please!!
