They go without warning. I've replaced two and carry on in the trunk.

Yes, start with the Mag Pickup. If you have a really old style cap it did not have a vent. The newer style caps do. As long as it turns over and you have lighting and such your battery ground connection should be ok.

DownTown -- an MSD no spark condition is as easy to diagnose as a table lamp that won't light up. Yes, it's really that easy. It's the intermittent problem that is a PITA -- you can figure this one out, and you can fix it.

I agree. As a first step it will be much easier to verify that the MSD box is working than to try to blame the magnetic pickup. 2 minutes and you'll know.
I can tell you from experience that Cobras cars eat MSD boxes like the real snakes eat mice.
