Hi Tim. I had the distributor rebuilt completely five years ago when I did everything else. I had one of the M&H breakerless modules put in at that time:

I know a lot of people hate these "Pertronix" style modules, but I have had zero problems on both GTOs for many years. I am not saying this module ISN'T the problem, but I have always had good luck with them.

EDIT: I called M&H just now to discuss the issue. They mentioned that when these modules fail, they usually fail completely. Or, they can fail throughout the RPM range.

My problem seems to be only between about 1000 and 1500 RPM.
