Hey everyone, I am really confused right now. Alright, I drove my 1929 Model A Coupe to the beach today, it ran like a champ. OK, fast forward 90 minutes. I started the car, but it only ran for a minute as it sputtered and died. I kept trying to start it but got the same results. Finally I got it running, but the car backfired about 6 times as I was driving away. It then died again while I was driving. Eventually I was able to get her home. I believe the ignition system must be weak, but I may be wrong. Any helpful tips on what went wrong?
