re: 74 Cherokee Bucking/Cutting out Help Please

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't say for sure, however in '75 AMC had problems with their electronic ignition
systems and recalled them. I
distinctly remember my '75 Gremlin doing the exact same thing. I don't know the
entire process, however I believe it was
simply the case of splicing and removing the transistor?between the distributor cap
and coil.

Someone else on the list may recall better then I do.
