Darrell, the very first thing that makes me think is "bad plug wire".  The
bad wire lets the system voltage go much higher than usual, which eventually
breaks down and carbon tracks the rotor, which shorts all the spark to
ground.  A new rotor will get the engine running, but poorly due to the bad
wire ... until the new rotor fails and strands you again.
