Do you have circuit protection for the distributor? If not, you should install one. It's cheap and it works.

Bob, is the item in your attached photo the Mallory version of a ballast resistor, or is it a different item with a different function?
I have no problem with spending the $$ it will take to make the system operational and my primary goal is reliability...my area of TX has quite a few National Forest areas and the car is used frequently for jaunts in areas where there is little in the way of civilization or help, so I am motivated to make sure the repair is durable.
I am convinced the control module needs replacing. I think I will replace the ballast resistor, too, and if the item in your post is a different item with a different purpose I will install one of those, too.
I want to fix it once...have no interest in short cutting the repair process or skimping on quality.
Thanks!!!
