  1. Hello my name is Will I am 21 and currently maintain a small collection of classics in the pacific north west. At the moment I am working on a 42 Continental, while on a drive the other day the car started to lug and loose power, it was able to limp off of the interstate but once the engine had been shut off it did not start again until it had cooled down for about 30 minutes. I have seen two schools of thought when it comes to diagnosing this issue, first it could be vapor lock, or it could be that the coils are starting to fail and after heating up for a period of time the winding has started to expand and separate causing a weak spark. I am not very familiar with how the ignition system function in these old flat head V12's. Any ideas on how I should isolate the problem to a fuel delivery issue or a failing ignition?
