Greg,
Ahh yes the old Pertronix. I installed one on my Morgan a couple of years ago.
They are nice but expensive compaired to the points and condenser.

Well the Pertronix unit could have failed, although unlikely if it's
only a couple of
years old.
It still could be a bad rotor button. I've had them fail on a
running engine before.
So they can go anytime.
The only other thing I can think of is a crack in the dist. cap and
humidity. If it's
been rainy where you live, the spark could be shorting out in the dist. cap.
