I put a rebuilt distributor in my 283 and it run fine for about 2 weeks. I was driving it the other day and it just cut off and when I pushed the clutch in and let off it started back up. It did it again and this time it back fired and started back up. I checked the distributor cap and rotary button and seemed to be fine. When I let it idle the battery gauge surges and sometimes it cut off just idling. Anyone have any answers?
