I read through this thread and saw no mention of it so I will ask.

Does it have the HEI in it are the old points? If it has a HEI installed it could be the module issue. The cheaper HEI units bought off E bay and such use cheaper modules. The GM modules seem to work better and make sure you use the heat sink grease on them as well. It needs 12 volts at all times also just incase you didn't know.

Just for info:
I wouldn't do the Fuel injection until I got it running right. My 2 cents.
