Just for kicks try changing the coil wire. When you moved it you may have closed an open inside the insulation on it. Also if it seems fuel starved on turns or any time, make sure that you don't have varnish on the needle valves. I had that happen once and spent a day trying to figure out why it wouldn't start at times and then would kind of sputter at times. Once I looked at one of the valves it took about 10 minutes to clean everything up and I had no more problems.

If you are still having starting problems and most of your posts would seem to indicate that the first problems were under heavy load, use a remote starter when it won't start and try pulling a spark plug boot to see if any fire is getting there. If not work your way back, not moving the wires any more than necessary and check the output of the coil wire at the distributor end. If you have fire there, take the distributor cap off and look at the rotor and inside terminals.

I hope that you find the problem soon and I will be watching for what it was to file away in my weird troubles book.
