Yes, I mean swap the two leads from the module pick-up. Sorry if that came across wrong; it's just a cliche in bad science fiction that "reversing the polarity" fixes any technical problem.

And yes, a bad pick-up coil will keep it from firing. But they're so simple it's rare for the coils to break.

Thanks, Matt.
I tried swapping the output leads. No dice. It looks more and more like a bad distributor.......Because it's rare, I'll have the problem. :roll: :lol:
I'll keep trying, but I may have to take the dizzy back. If I'd known I was to have all this trouble, the distributor from NAPA would have been worth the extra $10.00.
Oh, well. Live & Learn.
I guess it bumfuzzles me because it's so simple. It has to work. Unless, of course, something is broke. And everything has been replaced except for the distributor.
Thanks for everything, guys! Sorry for all the commotion?!? :D :roll:
