I would like to thank everyone for their assistance and suggestions on this thread. Today, I was finally able to repeat the no-start condition in my garage (wonders never cease!!) with my neighbour present, who is a very experienced mechanic.
To review, I have a Crane Fireball Optical Trigger, an MSD 6A spark box and a Bosch Red coil. When things heat up, I would experience either ignition cutout while driving, or a non start condition when stoppped for gas etc.
We were able to determine that all systems were receiving power during the fault condition, but the Fireball was not sending a trigger pulse back to the MSD. So I am going to firstly pull the distributor and examine the optical sensor and shutter wheel for possible problems. Being virtually solid state, it may be difficult to see anything. Then, probably order a new optical pickup and begin from there.
It is encouraging to know all other components seem to be working as they should. Hopefully it will be a cheap fix!!
