I am with Tony on this. Changed to a Jeff built points distributor several 
years ago
and have had no more electrical gremelins. Was using a Lucus coil and that quit
at the Jefferson this year. Now run a Bosch Blue. Have had no issues and still
carry a spare plate set up with points. Check the gap before each week end
and forget about it. In all the years of street driving my TR3A never had a 
point
problem strand me anywhere.
