I'm going with "all of the above." I'm putting rubber tubing around the fuel line and replacing both the coil and the condenser. The ballast resistor is new and *shouldn't* fail. It's a piece of ceramic; what's to go wrong??

I'll let you know the outcomes once the parts are in and replaced on Monday.
