121 - Misfiring and associated problems 120-130 1966

Folks,

Mine played up this weekend and under acceleration cut out. After a quick diagnostic, No spark at plug, no spark from coil to earth, I tried the old "Just one more crank" and off it went!!

Assistance gue (Who'd just arrived) said that "Sounds like the coil to me" and claimed that the engine is mis-firing under load. It doesn;t sound too bad, but there is a lot of engone shake.

Coil is original design one, with armoured cable to rear.

So, I have another coil sitting waiting to go onto the car, but before I go down the armoured cable removal route, can anyone suggest what may have caused the problem I described, or suggest any further tests?

Cheers
Eric
