Hey cats ...  long time

    Hope all is well with everyone  --  my life has been a friggin' 
whirlwind of late (usual stuff, you know; got married, moved to a new place, 
had to kick the cats out of the house -- blah blah)
    So now that the flood of tasks related to said wedding and new place 
are receding it's time to go fiddle with the red 74 Spider.
    Last time we met I had issued a plea for guidance re: Spider, to wit:  
the car starts fine, runs great, and everything's hunky-dory until the red 
beast gits to around 175 deg and then it's "all downhill from there".  It 
starts chugging and hesitating and generally begins hatin' life until it 
stalls completely and says "screw this crap, I'm done"   - - -  it's at that 
point I glide the Alfa-turned-glider into its parking spot.
    I recall a few folks responded to my earlier supplication for 
assistance but I'd be damned if I remember what you all said for me to do !

    The car is completely stock with no mods whatsoever and the symptoms 
have repeated now 4 times in the last 2+ months  ....
"start -  run - warm - run - hot - gag"

Good to be back ....  will start reading me AD's again !!!
