We have a fellow GMC'er, Mike Kelley (Corvair-Holic) of Peoria (hope I got all that right), just called me. He got my number from the Black List. I am two hours from him. He is in Cuba, MO, on I-44 and has pulled into a Super 8. They are heading to Texas for 6 months. About 8 miles east of Cuba, his 76' GMC exhibited loss of power and what he described as "missing". After a short time alongside a very busy interstate highway, he was able to restart it and limp into Cuba. Cuba is not a large town, but does have an O'Reilly's that is open until 9p. His mechanic had done a lot of replacement of ignition related parts prior to their leaving Illinois. He called his mechanic and the mechanic said that it could be either the coil or the module, and that one might cause the other to fail. He is towing a vehicle so he can drive to O'reillys, or maybe even Rolla tomorrow pending what he hears from O'Reilly's tonight. He said he has friends that monitor this forum, so if anyone wants to call him with morale support, his number is 309-363-6690. The Super 8 Motel person said their is a shop in Cuba and I told him that to replace these items, if he is able to find them, is not that much of job. (Says the guy that last replaced these things about 20 years ago).....
Possibly someone can lend him some support. I will do all I can.
