[Mgs] Mode of failure for ignition coil

[Bert Palte]

Hi David,

Many years ago, I have come across a similar problem, where the cause was
a shortcut from a wire (running from the the CB points to the
connector at the outside of the distributor) to ground.

I don't immediately recall what car it was, however.
