I don't know if this will help or not, but I had a similar problem with my 79 Midget.  She would start fine and be puttering along all happy, then boom out of nowhere the tach would drop to zero and she was dead. She wouldn't start again until it cooled off.  This was due to the early distributors overheating. MG put on a different distributor later in the year. My problem was solved by an electronic ignition module. 

Take that for what it's worth :-)  Best of luck to you!

I need some help guys. I am at a loss to what is going on with my MG!

 

I have had issues with the car not starting after I drive it and it warms
up. So I went in and replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, plug wires, coil,
points, timed it and adjusted all gaps to specs. Now it runs great when it
is cold, really really, great, when it is cold. As soon as I hit the normal
temperature zone I have one and sometimes two cylinders that start missing.
This has totally baffled me. I have no idea what could possibly be going on.
At this point the only thing I can come up with is the distributor itself is
causing the problem, but I would prefer to find the cheaper solution first.

 

Any ideas?? Any help at all would be very appreciated!
