Re: Dj5-F electrical problems
I would first charge up the battery and on a 78 clean the battery
terminals and cable ends.
The battery might be totally dead. A 78 will run on just the alternator
once you jump start it.

Re: Dj5-F electrical problems
It's amazing what can happen to a vehicle that "was running great a year
ago". I am sure we have all seen them. Heck, it is amazing what can happen
to a vehicle that "was running great yesterday". On this vehicle I would
look at battery connections, as others have said, points or whatever passes
for an ignition system, and the contents of the carburetor bowl as a start.
