Biull -
I don't know if the 1500 dist. suffers from the same problem (rotor) that
the 1275 with a 25D can, but, I got a bad batch of rotors that would
develop micro-cracks after two - three weeks, shorting the coil pulse to
the dist. shaft (ground). Major PITA until I started grinding the little
locating nub inside the rotor with a Dremel, until it was a slip fit (not a
force fit) on to the shaft. Symptoms were just like what you describe; run
fine, then die.
