The rotor button rotates inside the cap, in phase with the camshaft to be pointing in the general direction of the
cylinder to be fired. The rotor button does NOT make contact
with the points inside the dist cap, but comes close enough
for a spark to jump between. By leaving the ignition on for a
long period of time, there would be no continual spark, therefore
ruling out any problem with the cap. It's extremly unlikely that
all your leads/plugs would fail at once, and just happen to coincide with the time you left the ignition on for too long (btw, how long is too long?) --- assuming the time frame you speak of is in excess of 20-30 minutes i would start by replacing the coil. If the rare occurance of the reluctor pickup
was in a state of 'half on half off' mode where it was continually sparking (sometihng you would have most likely heard if you were around the car and it was relativly quiet), would cause either the coil/igniter to 'burn out' (most liketly coil) and/or the position on the dizt cap closest to where the rotor button was firing, If it was in this postion this would
only reduce the firing capaciry of 1 cylinder, and not really
prevent starting.

To cut a long diagnosis short, your problem does not lie in your plugs, leads, dissy cap or fuel system, but either in a overheated or fauly coil/ignitor -- or something computer related.

Have a go at replacing the coil if you have a spare one around,
and see how you go, even if you get a shock off the leads, it
still could mean the coil is faulty. Worth a try before spending
$ on an auto elec.

You say there is a constant spark from the coil lead itself, is it fat yellowey spark, or a thin blue spark? If fat yellow, check the inside of the dizzy cap centre carbon brush, if weak blue, it's your coil or ignitor.
