Yep he is, I have the same problem as you described and I did the coil,module and capasitor replacement and it worked for a day or two( I guess I cleared the short when I pulled the cap) and then the same cutting out and backfiring. I put a new ign switch,wiring pigtail for the switch, new power wire to the dizzy and finally pulled it out and swapped it for a $50 65K volt dizzy from White performance off ebay and I have been trouble free for over two years now When I pulled it out of the truck I then noticed the insulation was broken and there was the tell tale green patina that copper does when exposed to moisture and was like AARRGH!!! It was those little wires the whole time. I think the PO pulled the old HEI dizzy from a boneyard and no tellin how old it was.

So if you have to buy a new coil and module I was just buy a new dizzy from white performance and toss the old one, as you will spend about the same amount of money and most likely getting a little hotter spark from the 65k volt coil. Just my .02.... Randy
