Mgarblik: Moto and Philco Ford made the fender mounted ignition boxes. Any idea which had the higher failure rates? Believe it or not, the early units had wire in the harness where water would wick up between the wire and insulation, into the box innerds and cause corrosion.
The wiring was later changed to non-wicking type. Sometimes things happen that you never expect.
