 Sure sounds like what I need...something burned the coil wire electrode inside the distributor cap right off...the underside of the cap looked like oxidized magnesium where the electrode had been. 
Most likely a voltage spike. My volt-meter is fairly stable...jumps a volt or two if I turn off the puller fan on the radiator, but otherwise no evidence of voltage spikes. I don 't think the ammeter works...never varies from the 0 at the center of the gauge.
 
Thanks, Bob!!
