I think this is all a "stacking" of variables such as Radio Resistant (MSD type) wires, widened spark plug gaps, resistor plugs and dimensions within the cap between the rotor and the cap. If all of these are at the extremes, the electical resistance is magnified and the load is increased dramatically on the coil and secondary ignition system. The weakest item will fail first.
