The original coil mounted on distributor is known to be fragile, prone to failure. Recommendation today is to have an original coil rebuilt by Skip Haney. He uses modern materials (don't ask what, his trade secret), and then they last for many years.
But you are using the remote can coil, which is bigger and more robust. Chances are your problem was just the condenser, your old can coil is still good, and your new can coil will last for years. I have read that the remote can's adaptor plate on the distributor can sometimes be a problem. And, in my opinion, all of that added stuff on an original car is just too uuugly.
