I HAVE MORE FORD AND JEEP IGNITION MODULE EXPERIENCE
I FEEL SURE THE FUNCTION IN A BUICK HAS GOTTA BE VERY SIMILAR--I DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THE THING. I'VE EXPERIENCED THE FORD SYSTEM ACTING UP OVER AND OVER, AS WELL AS DYING, NEVER TO IGNITE AGAIN
WHETHER YOURS IS TESTABLE OR NOT---CALL THE PARTS STORE!
THIS IS MY APPROACH WITH THE JEEP/ FORD MODULES

THE ONLY OTHER THING I MIGHT OFFER IS TO CRANK UP AND JUST START METHODICALLY MOVING WIRES AROUND (SHAKING!), UNTIL IT DIES ON YOU. I'VE FOUND ON CJs, MANY TIMES, THE WIRING TO THE DISTRIBUTOR AND OTHER COMPONENTS IS NOT TIED DOWN WELL, AND SHAKES AROUND UNTIL WIRES BREAK. SOMETIMES INTERMITTENTLY BREAKING CONTACT, SOMETIMES NO CONTACT AT ALL.
THIS IS WHAT THEY SAY YOURS LOOKS LIKE
