Refresh my memory (it sure ain't what it used to be), but you have the twin-plug dizzy with the Bosch cap, yes?
Looking at my records, I've answered my own question,...
Yes, you do.
Thats the SC distributor that I converted to accept the RSR cap & rotor and it IS magnetically triggered. The internal trigger is quite reliable but the same cannot be said for the connector at the side of the dizzy and the green trigger cable. Those are coaxial and prone to failure over time.
I would be checking continuity between the connector that plugs into the distributor body and each MSD trigger pair of wires (the green and purple ones).
Lemme know what you find.
