Son of a Gun! This same thing happened to me today. Took the dizzy out to fix the leak (didn't put an O-ring under the factory ring...used hi temp black electrical tape cut thin to fit in the land of the MSD ring to push out the factory O-ring and installed like this \_______/). Started it up and put the timing light on it and started to turn the dist and it quit!! Ground the batteries dead, then took it all apart again and noticed the coil carbon was flat inside the cap!!! So I'll wax it this weekend, and tune it next weekend. Had to order the part. I'll try the NAPA one next. Thanks for the hint.
