One thing to check is the two wires to the coil out of the base. I went through two modules in as many weeks on a rebuilt HEI. I noticed the insulation on the wires had a hairline crack,when flexing them back I saw the green of the copper wires. I pulled a harness off a junk truck and never had another problem. But,I've never had a Whataburger.

Tim, my wiring harness coming out of the modual that exits out of the distributor does have some hairline cracking in the wire insulation. Or I should did have some hairline cracking. I used a productlike Permatex high tack gasket sealant that brushes on to seal up to insulation. I had used it several years ago because wire were arcing across each other and truck was running real spotty.

I should probably also check the wiring insulation, maybe it is starting to crack again.

I just wanted to thank everyone for giving me some heads up on what to look at as potential problems.

Oh yea Tim, you gotta try some Whataburger, if given a chance.

Same here, but I tell you one of the best burgers I ever had was at a strip club on the Interstate.

It's a scientific fact that when one sense is heightened (vision...among others) to a high level it heightens other senses (taste) equally. You may never know what those burgers really taste like.
