why don't I have spark when warm

I have new points
new condenser
good coil
new plugs
and new plug wires

what am I missing
it starts right up when its cold but dies and wont re start when hot

If you're sure the starting issue is spark, I would definitely try another coil. Very typical for a coil to test good and spark good when cold and then go totally dead when hot. If it starts and runs good until you shut it off and try to restart hot, I would suspect vapor lock, maybe a fuel line run too close to the manifold?

I also would say coil. pertonix is wimpy. I see on a regular basis people post about how they fail in hot conditions. the points system is not the problem. maybe points out of adjustment after replacing wires?
