Now it's dead in the driveway (thank God) with no ignition either. It seems there is an intermittent which I hope finally failed permanently, which disables both ignition and fuel pump. I do get a spark sometimes when turning off ignition after cranking for a few seconds, but nothing while cranking. Haven't checked the fuel pump but I suspect that's dead at the moment as well. Lately, while driving, the ignition would cut out periodically for a second or 2 (tach drops right to zero, then bounces back up again). Suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Charles.
