Obvious check would be coil leads or main coil wire. Check fuse block
for loose connections (I had this same thing happen after a 2000 mile
trip, and fuse block was to blame). Especially note if your low
tension lead inside the distributor has frayed or disconnected-- it's
a very common problem, easy to fix.
There's probably an easy solution. I've seen this before, and fiddling
around with things tends to remedy it.
