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.
