Exactly what I was thinking. I made two spares and am now keeping them in my trunk along with a small flat blade screwdriver, an open end 7/16 wrench, a 3/8 socket, a 7/16 socket, and a ratchet. That will be my roadside emergency kit in case the wire breaks again. I've also put a mark on the engine block that shows exactly where the line to the vacuum advance is positioned so that I get the timing close when I put the distributor back in. It was a really dumb mistake on my part, crimping the wires the way I did. Like I was just asking to break down.
