Recurring Injector Triggers problem... '72 145 140-160 1972

Hey all - For a few months now, I've had to regularly pull the injector triggers out and clean them up. About a week after I clean them, off the line performance starts to suffer. The problem will progress for the next few weeks until the car literally becomes undriveable; it can't get itself going more than a mile an hour, it just stumbles.

I test the points with the distributor on, and one side of the triggers isn't making contact. Once I pull and clean and sand the contacts on them, everything's ok. They're not visibility filthy, but apparently something's happening. Do I need to replace them? Or the whole distributor? Or just rebuild the distributor? Any tips on that would be handy.

Thanks!!

-Ben
