I would agree with Allan, though I don't know what actually causes the breakdown of carbon filament wires, it happened on my ford ranger, did not notice any power loss or skipping, well it had the 4 cylinder with 2 spark plugs each one, + 2 wires each, etc. etc. I opened the hood one night while it was running and that form of energy you seem to have a background for was giving me quite the show, wires were recent at the time, but the truck did sit quite a bit, all kinds of lightning going on in there.
You're not the only one who does things like that, I used to travel 1000-1200 miles a week, and those kinds of things that you are doing, certainly kept me from having break downs in bad places, belts hoses, alternators, water pumps, especially the last 2 when I knew there were a lot of miles on them, I figure anything external to the engine itself that has moving parts needs to be checked on and replaced at times.
My neighbor across the road has a nice motor home with a Cat diesel in it, the previous one was one with a 454, he was a heavy equipment/truck mechanic most of his life. He had a belt fail on trip to VA when his daughter was married, so there were people on board, stuck on the side of the road etc. He got 'er going, but once he got back here, what a job, someone had cobbed or beat up on the pulleys, bad mechanical work, which he straightened out, I can't recall exactly, just I'd hate to work on that on the side of the road, in the heat or snow !!!

Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
