As I have posted elsewhere, EVERY TIME I have had an ignition failure it has been the distributor. I have had the following:

sheared pins
broken gears
fouled contacts in cap
stuck mechanical advance

I now carry a complete extra distributor (including rotor and cap) with me. My last problem was with a poly carbon gear that lost a couple of teeth when I stepped on it. Switched back to bronze.
