Get your trusty v/ohm meter and check for continuity the three wires going to the dist. pickup ( Ford duraspark ) at the same time stretching and pulling trying to cause an open. This would be from the MSD two wire connector foward.These are thin wires and by the weight of the wires and connector could cause an open from vibration and stress. This will not show up as a visual on the insulator, but as a break in the wire. Ask me how I know. Your meter should have very sharp probe points to penetrate the insulation. A new pickup costs about 20 bucks. Probably better to just get a new pickup. Do a google on r&r. Do not miss index the reluctor and be careful of that little roll pin. Make sure you have the proper air gap.
Good luck
