I have had a fried capacitor, or my module on an HEI. I can't tell you the specific culprit because I completely rebuilt my distributor, but I can tell you it was narrowed down to those two components. The truck just had no spark. It cranked strong, got fuel, and a multimeter read full voltage to my distributor plug-in, but one look at a spark plug while cranking verified- NO SPARK!

I bought one of those Proform HEI tune-up kits from Pep Boys because that's the company GM performance parts uses for their basic crate motor distributors. 20 minutes later the truck fired up and ran stronger than it ever had.
