Hi Alistair - Just so you know I am waiting in suspense to hear about the
eventual cure - kind of analogous to another much larger issue going on.
Like others I am keeping this thread handy in my archives for future use.

I have had a coil go on me several times and have had wires disconnect from
the back of the alternator twice. and a fuel pump crap out on a a Type II.
There have been other more straightforward problems which my simple mind
has been able to determine.

Hoping this is not a ghost in the machine - but something simple and
explanatory - regardless we are all learning.  Best of luck - you know this
is almost better than Netflix.
