It was the Ignition Control Module. Put a new in and I'm back on the road.

Thanks for all the help.

these motors dont have timing belts

would like to point out that the rotors on hei dist are known to burn through which will the cause the module to fail. if you turn rotor over and see a dark spot in center,its starting to arc through and should be replaced.

also keep in mind that the Skip white NEW HEI is the same $$ as the module and it comes with the cap and rotor....so its really a saving to swap out the hole thing

are you thinking a new dist is the same price as a module?

I didn't notice the rotor starting to arc, however I will take a closer look at it to be for sure. I was concentrating on the removing the module so I could have over looked it. Thanks for tip.
