Hei conversion Intermittent start?

SO difficult to second guess from hundreds of miles away. How certain are you the module is grounded?

Any local friends you can borrow a distributor? Even a Chivvy/ GM friend with a spare GM distributor, you can "rig" the module in for testing?

Spare coil?

At this point i'm positive the module is grounded. I ran some continuity tests yesterday which showed it had ground and even today just to be sure, i ran a jumper from the module to the neg. terminal.

Tried shorter wires as Bill suggested just for the heck of it. No luck.

I only have two coils, the one it had with the original electric ignition and the E-core coil i bought for the system. Tried both, no luck with either. Tried the jumper with both, and again no luck.

And nope, no friends with spare hei dist. My friends either work on newer stuff or the awful pre-muscle car era crap.

At this point, i'm just about ready to scrap it all and pick up an ebay hei distributor.
