check for power to dist first should be 12 volts if none check ignition switch. check to make sure carbon button is inside cap and will touch rotor. check pickup coil for 650-900 ohms no more no less.then have module tested at auto parts and imake sure dielectric grease is used under module in dist.

re read my first reply see if you are getting power to it or not, then check coil for resistance.also check body to battery ground, eng/body ground and batt/eng grounds.
