After travelling in excess of 60 miles at 75 mph, the engine tone suddenly switches to a lower level and there is a substantial loss of power - only achieve 2000 rpm on level road. If one then switches the engine off for 5 minutes, it resumes normally for another 5 to 10 miles before exhibiting the same problem. Any ideas where I should start fault finding?

Hi, It sounds to me like the ignition amplifier is overheating. Or the coil is overheating. but when mine did that it was the amplifiuer. I ended up replacing my distributor and amplifier with a kit that puts more modern internals into the original cases.
It has been much more reliable. Been in the car now for about 6 years.
