Phil,

I'd suspect the rotor.  I've got a friend in CT with a Morgan.  He
bought a rotor for it and went on a trip.  A couple of hundred miles
into it, the car quit.  Bad rotor.  He bought another one.  That one
lasted a little longer.  He now carries several spares.  There is
apparently problems with the production process of the Lucas
knock off rotor manufactured in the last couple of years.
