Thank you again for the reponses.
I will look at the ignition system in greater detail once I start the investigation in earnest. I've always used the MO of replacing the easiest part to access first. If that wasn't it then move on to the more difficult. Sometimes that works. Of course, Murphy's law usually works against you, and when it does you've installed all new parts. My Pantera consists of mostly new moving parts as a result, some that I didn't need to replace.
I wish I had never replaced the rubber bushings with poly. that will be my next post.
