This would be a first with an HEI module. Just imagine, an IC that mis-performs then REMEMBERS to stay in exactly that error mode then proceeds to err further and further. If this is the case. Rush to a patent office with the module because such behavior would render it borderline sentient.
If temperature was involved the distributor timing would have been demanded to be ******** when starting cold or it would have blown the air cleaner through the engine cowling.
Three bucks a gallon for gasoline and how much money and hassle for a tow truck? The bushings in a distributor that old are WORN OUT. Ever see on an oscilloscope what a wobbling reluctor does to module pickup timing?
To each his own. I'm too poor to screw around with death-bed grade essentials.
