My RP finally died the morning after completing the Sevens to the Sea run. I'd had a number of problems, points closing up on the Bosch distributor and carb float bowl threatening to go walk about, but the issue that stopped us in the end was the coil. The previous day the car had started misfiring quite frequently and was down on power. Subsequent investigation indicates this is a classic symptom of a duff coil. Assuming you have a good spare coil to hand this is an easy one to exclude and/or fix.
