Well, you might still be right if the injector connectors on one side of the 
engine had been reversed. OTOH, In every case I've ever seen, a trigger point 
contact that gets dirty and stops contacting brings the WHOLE engine to a halt. 
I suspect that the circuitry needs the trigger signal to trigger one set of 
injectors AND to reset the other circuit.  

I believe there have been a few reports here of some brains which would 
continue running on just 2 cylinders when dirt got in one trigger point. I 
don't remember which year/brain that was, but it may have been a 70 with the C 
brain.
