HELP Engine just shut off

[Dhink802]

75 Coronet 400/4bbl, just quit running while ideling in driveway. Will not restart. Sounds different then before. Where should I start? Fuel sys? or Ele sys? and what about that ballast resistor?

Pop the hood, look at the engine and not know what you're looking at, look around helplessly, shut the hood, and go to bed.
Call a garage for tow service in the morning.

Check for spark. Check for fuel at carb. then start narrowing down the culprits. Start with the basics. could you be out of gas?

outta gas would be my #1 culprit of not running :laughing6:

:Groaner: SOME PEOPLE???? i would do a compression test first, since you say is sounds different could have jumped time? nylon gears an is very common. also could be valvetrain related.

excuse the dumb q, but if it doesn't start then how does it 'sound different than before?' perhaps it jumped timing or something, that might be the only way I know of for it to sound different without it actually running.
