Because the tach gave the first indication,I`d look at the supply to the ignition.It backfired because it lost power then went back on.Check the sheathing on the dbl wire from the distributor up to the cap.It bends pretty tight and I`ve seen the insulation break through.I did all the guts in my HEI and my truck still just cranked.Actually I went through two modules within two weeks,first.I discovered if I bent those wires tight I could see that greenish oxidized copper color.Took the wire off a junk truck and sped off.
*I had the Accel coil,too.
