Killed Two Distributors and Don't Know Why!

Hey '67,

Is there anything possible outside of the wiring harness in the fire wall, the coil, ballast, ECU or Distributor that could be the problem? I plan on running some diagnostic work on it before I try starting it again. I don't think I can do everything you recommended, but I will try to do my best. I was just wondering if there is anything outside of the normal four parts that could cause a distributor to fail...

Well sure the harness has be be intact, the connectors and terminals have to be making connection. "in a rare case" I found an ECU connector evidently the wire going into that connector was intermittent right at the terminal crimp, inside the molded rubber connector. Since that harness/ connector does not get moved very much, you have to wonder if it was "shaky" from the getgo Just an example
