We've had a triple digit heatwave here local and my 84 didn't like it. Took it up in the mountains and it started sputtering out on me before it finally just died, it would fire back up and idle, but wouldn't rev at all without dying until it cooled back down. Figured it was just vapor locking since the engine compartment was HOT. Now it doesn't matter if it's warm or cold, she spits and sputters and bucks pretty bad with a load on it. Fires right up and idles just fine though. It's acting like it's a timing issue but it was running good before the trip up the mountain, maybe TFI module? Just replaced it 2 weeks ago due to a typical no start condition but that doesn't mean anything with this heat, I was just under the impression with a TFI module it either works or it doesn't.
