My 68 Charger 440 99% stock motor will just shut off like I turned the key off at random times. It will then restart within 5 minutes and then run for several trips/days. I checked all the harnesses, coil, ignition switch, and can find nothing wrong except for the coil was leaking so I installed a new one. The car then ran for a couple of days and then today, boom, it quit again. The problem is not heat related, has quit cold and hot. Any ideas anyone?

I'd say start by checking the ballast resistor. I'd also check the voltage on the output side of the resistor.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

I know you checked the harnesses but some people have had that same mystery problem because the main bulkhead at the firewall was either loose or not making good contact with the connections.
very clever dinner. appetizing food fit neatly into interesting round pie.

Hows the fuel look. You might have some water in the tank and when it hits the engine they will not run on water, also crud in the tank can do the same thing, cuttin off fuel to the engine.
A clear plastic fuel filter makes it real easy to determine if this is the problem.
