I suspect that the burn marks were caused by the arcing that happened when you pulled the coil wire. My instincts tell me that you have a weak ground between the distributor body and the battery, but I can't explain it. I am having trouble understanding why it would run with the coil wire arcing, but not with the coil wire in place. The arcing will quickly dirty the contact points in the cap and rotor, but what caused this problem in the first place, except for a bad cap, which I thought had been replaced.
Hmmmm. Try a new cap and rotor, and see if that does it. If it doesn't, try improving the ground to the block. Take care, ~Chris
