Well...on the advice of another lister, I'm going to replace the plug
wires and the king lead.  The existing are about a year old.  I
thought checking the resistance was enough to know that they were
okay, but I guess not.  I've got a new disti cap and rotor as well. 
I'm going to install and recheck all connections.......hopefully when
it stops snowing.

If that fails, I look into your trick before buying a new electronic
ignition. 

Thanks to all for the suggestions...I'll let you know what happens.
