Re: 69 c10 wont fire up
If you are running an HEI should always keep a spare module around IMO. It is the component most likely to fail and easy enough to swap and test.

Re: 69 c10 wont fire up
That's my guess too. Ignition module.
Easiest way to check spark is throw a timing light on a few of the wires.

Re: 69 c10 wont fire up
The module is the usual culprit and on occasion the pickup coil fails. In all of my years I have only had one pickup coil fail. Nephew said that was the problem with mine. I said nooooooo. Yup. It was. You have to disassemble the dist to replace it too.
