I took the advice from Moss Motors a while ago and order a handful of brass bullet connectors and new 4 way connector blocks. Their web site suggested that the solder that was inside of the brass bullet connector can crack and give intermittent connection and flakey performance. I cut about 1 inch off of each wire and soldered the new brass bullet connectors to the fresh wire. 6 years now and no real electrical gremlins have appeared.

It would be very strange for a wire to just break, without any external physical damage. More likely it is the bullet connectors on the ends. Also, have you replaced all those 4-way connector blocks? The springy contact inside them can crack and no longer make good contact. Go order a dozen. Doug Braun '72 Spit Your messages not reaching the list?
