Hi Andrew,
Usually when a rotor arm fails, it is tracking through a crack to the distributor shaft. When this happens it is normally terminal, ie no go, no more. Intermittent as you describe, gets hot and stops, cools down and goes again, sounds like a condenser failing.
Another thing, make sure the coil is wired the correct way around.
cheers Richard
