On a 79,what symptoms would the car show if the ignition module in the distributor is starting to break down?

Dies for no reason when engine is fully warm/hot, mostly in traffic is when it's the hottest....

but that exact symptom can be caused by other problems also...
dead ignition from that reluctor coil under the rotor, dizzy needs pulled and it's the last thing out of the housing....it's got the small white/green leads on it going to the ign module....

after that, solder the leads where they are crimped onto the main spark coil wires up top there in the cap....
