On my MSD distributor, The magnetic pick up just stopped working one day. It was the same as you were describing. This is a well known problem with MSD distributors. I would bet that if there is no spark to the spark plugs, then that might be your problem. I don't know if there is an easy way to diagnose this other than just buying a new part and replacing it And my Pantera, you have to remove firewall from inside the car to get to the distributor. At least on the cobra it's easy to get to That's why on my last two engines, I used an old-fashioned points distributor.
