yea ign parts usually fail hot and can fix themselves as they cool. gonna be a bit tricky to diagnose but PLEASE change ONE part at a time and go for a drive. Bring some other spare parts with you in case it dies on you again and try to replicate the weather. Unfortinately with the openness of the model A ign system a bit of moisture from the ever leaky hood hinge area wouldn't take many water drops to start shorting out stuff.

or better yet run the car till it dies then quickly (carefully) change one component out and if it instantly restarts i would suspect the removed component.
