My first thought was condenser but I see you mention pertronix so maybe this doesn't apply. What about trying a stock distributor?

For the 6 cylinder version there is the top entry cap only in black or red.

Roger,
There is a side entry cap available for 123 Ignition 4 cylinders, but as
you said its a Bosch/Beru cap looking different to a LUCAS cap.

Wondering if anyone is aware of, or if they even exist, of a source of a
side entry cap that fits a 123 distributor ? This supposed to be a
standard Bosch cap ?
Just trying to keep things looking a little original ...

Was our driving a while back, engine purring, and suddenly she shut down. Let it sit for a while and she would start and run for a while--then shut down again. I tried many fixes which I will list below. Several times after the fixes she went for miles and miles and I thought I had "fixed" it. Nope-----yesterday----it was AAA tow time once again (3 times this year).
The last 2 shutdown times came when she was idling waiting for a light or for a car to pass.
So here is what I have tried: * new coil * new voltage regulator * new fuel pump * New ignition switch * Blew out the fuel lines * pulled float bowls and cleaned them (no debris inside) * Pulled the distributor plate out and cleaned and oiled it * disconnected the wire leading from the battery cutoff switch to the coil. * bypassed the entire battery cutoff switch * replaced the Pertronix with a new one * checked all the sparkplug wires to make sure they were on properly * replaced the distributor rotor *Replaced the distributor cap . * checked the small ground wire inside the distributor to make sure it was attached properly.
All this----and STILL o joy. I'm really out of ideas at this point. If anyone has any ideas for me to check please share them.
Thanks

Does it do it only in summer type warm weather ?
If so, I?d say vapor lock of fuel system.
Happens to me in the summer and predicted to happen when water temp on my instruments hit 200 degrees when stopped. Although I have wrapped insulation around the lines leading to the carbs close to the manifold which helped but has not cured the issue. I do have a heat shield but haven?t installed it.
So my cure is not to drive on hot days.

Tom,
Just out of curiosity, before all this happened, would you have pulled the float bowl cover off and not refitted it with the serrated washer in its right spot. I had similar situation happened to me several years ago and that was my pfonlrm.

With all due respects Tom this sounds like the perfect situation where my
favorite adage applies.
"*Diagnosis BEFORE repair"*.
The repair system, usually adhered to in dealerships, of "throw parts at
it until the problem is resolved" is the corolary of that process.
Some questions:
1. When the engine stops have you check for spark at a plug lead?
2. When the engine stops have you checked for fuel delivery at the
carburetors?
3. When you attempt a restart does the cranking sound normal?
4. Does the engine restart after everything cools down?
Almost certainly you will get the wrong answer to one of the above
questions (very unlikely more than one) and then you have something to
direct your attention to.

Sounds like a faulty coil or a bad/broken wire somewhere. Also check the
engine earth strap and battery switch and connections. What coil have
you fitted. If the ballast resistor (wire) is still in place it should
be a 12V ca. 1,5 Ohm coil to be used with a resistor or a 12V ca. 3Ohm
coil to be used without resistor.

Sounds like you have checked everything on the ignition system. Could be fuel related. What do the spark plugs look like? If the ceramic is black then too rich if white then too lean. Lastly there is the ground wire that runs from the coil to the battery shutoff switch. Could the wire be grounding somewhere? Try disconnecting it at the coil.

I am putting a modern relay into my OD relay. Done it before with both the
8-way flasher box and the OD relay. Works well, though this one only managed
+/-10 years. 10 years, but not so very many miles.
Anyhow..it's a really tight fit in there and I thought I might save some
space with thinner wires this time. What does the team think about the
ampage flowing around in there? Is there much and is it constant when the
car's in OD or is it just a short burst to activate the coil and energize
the solenoid? I'm thinking that bigger wires means less space (Harder to
bend into little spaces) and thinner wires means overheating and consequent
problems...

Due to unprecedented demand (actually only 4 kits) I have done another
run of these PCV kits.
https://precisionsportscar.com/austin-healey-100-engine-oil-leak-solution/
I've had positive responses from the folks that have installed them so
if anyone is struggling with oil leakage problems this is probably
worth a try.

Blocked air supply to tank would give these symptoms. I Have also had a broken low tension lead to distributor looked fine but was loose at the connector.
Good luck You will find it eventually and please let us know

Spider in fuel cap vent hole blocking free flow of air. Yes, I have seen it bring a Healey to its knees. Hank

Was our driving a while back, engine purring, and suddenly she shut down. Let it sit for a while and she would start and run for a while--then shut down again. I tried many fixes which I will list below. Several times after the fixes she went for miles and miles and I thought I had "fixed" it. Nope-----yesterday----it was AAA tow time once again (3 times this year).
The last 2 shutdown times came when she was idling waiting for a light or for a car to pass.
So here is what I have tried: * new coil * new voltage regulator * new fuel pump * New ignition switch * Blew out the fuel lines * pulled float bowls and cleaned them (no debris inside) * Pulled the distributor plate out and cleaned and oiled it * disconnected the wire leading from the battery cutoff switch to the coil. * bypassed the entire battery cutoff switch * replaced the Pertronix with a new one * checked all the sparkplug wires to make sure they were on properly * replaced the distributor rotor *Replaced the distributor cap . * checked the small ground wire inside the distributor to make sure it was attached properly.
All this----and STILL o joy. I'm really out of ideas at this point. If anyone has any ideas for me to check please share them.
Thanks
Tom
